How to fix ESXi 6.5 boot issues?

basically I have an asus PC which yesterday I installed ESXi 6.5 free as its host/main OS. and I successfully installed my ESXi OS but then I had a little issue with my second sata hard drive that was installed inside(ESXi was not detecting it cause) my PC, Through google Somehow I made my ESXi recognize my second 2tb hard drive. which then I also installed a debian VM on it. I could boot to my VM fine and working.

Now the problem is that when I start my ESXi it boots up to showing my devices menu, and my hard drive list after that screen. a black screen comes containing a dash or _ which it just keeps bulps and right there it stucks.

All replies are much appreciated
