I turned on secure boot on my PC and followed the BIOS updates for that feature. The first update caused it to shut down and restart. Once stable, it restarts but doesn’t show anything. I tried resetting CMOS by removing the battery, then flashing with the latest BIOS, and booted for a couple seconds before shutting down. In Setup I selected MOBO: B660m Aorus Pro AX DDR4 CPU (i5-12600kf). The GPU is a 3060 Ti. Integrated graphics might work, but I can reset to factory BIOS settings if needed. My repair shop said my MOBO could be faulty or just need a fix. Any advice or confirmation would be appreciated.

Here’s a revised version of your steps:

1. Ensure all external storage devices are disconnected, leaving only the M.2 drive active.
2. Navigate to the BIOS settings and locate the CSM section; ensure it’s turned off.
3. Select the Secure Boot option below and confirm it points to a different operating system, not Windows UEFI.
4. Open Key Management and remove any existing secure boot credentials.
5. Insert a USB drive preloaded with a Windows 10 ISO that supports UEFI booting.
6. Press F10 to save changes, exit the menu, and restart the computer.
7. Windows will begin installing using its built-in NVME driver on the NVME storage.
8. Upon rebooting, press F2 during startup to return to BIOS; under boot priority, your NVME drive should appear.
9. Revisit Secure Boot settings and set it to UEFI mode.
10. In Key Management, add the default secure boot keys.
11. Press F10 again to finalize installation and close the process.
12. Once Windows is operational, power off the PC and reconnect any remaining SATA drives.

You seem confused about the issue with igpu. It looks like you're trying to figure out why it's not working properly. The message suggests checking if you have a GPU and whether it's discrete or integrated. The edit indicates you're trying to resolve the problem, and the final note shows the update date.
