Kodi giving me a blank black screen after SD card removed

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I am new to these streaming boxes. I bought a NEO X8-H Plus and had it working with Kodi Jarvis. I noticed some streaming was choppy and pixelated, seems that the box is not as good as I thought or maybe it is not configured right, any links that can help me there I would appreciate.

In any case, what I am asking here is that Kodi was working well but then I removed the SD card and turned on the Minix again and tried to open Kodi. After displaying a message briefly saying “Running Kodi for the first time…” it gave me a black screen and never worked again. I put the memory card back in but it still doesn’t work.

It may be that Kodi has changed the spot where it looks for setup files? I know nothing about this and would appreciate any help you can give me.
