Oddity
Quite accidentally, I figured out why my system had gone through that period of not completing the booting process.
It's an odd answer.
I had a Dualshock 4 I was using in wired mode. Once I unplugged it, while going through the troubleshooting process, I had never plugged it back in. I decided I wanted to use it for playing UFO 50 and plugged it in earlier this week.
Black screen.
I rebooted. Endlessly looping on the BIOS splash screen. I unplugged it, rebooted, and everything was fine.
So, so flaky.
I wound up ordering an inexpensive 8bitdo USB wireless adapter. It works great, and now I can use the controller in wireless mode, which is an additional bonus. No booting shenanigans, either.
PCs. They're strange.
