Hey there, I just installed a new motherboard (MSI PRO B650M-A), CPU (Ryzen 5 7600) and 32GB DDR5 RAM. Everything seems connected properly, but when I power on it it shows up as BIOS and reloads automatically. It recognizes my SSD and knows its size, even when I switch the SATA port. My 860 EVO 1TB SSD is the only drive, but I don’t have another one. I’ve tried changing CSM, disabling safe startup, and moving the HDD to the top of the boot list. When I try legacy+UEFI it doesn’t save anything, and resetting CMOS didn’t help. Any tips would be super useful!
