Hi! I tried to power off using the USB drive but the boot menu didn’t appear. Pressing F11 caused a black screen and a restart instead. When I stayed still, the OS still started, but I couldn’t access the BIOS or boot from USB. The motherboard is an Asrock Z87M OC Formula with an i7-4790, 4GB RAM, and a GTX 1080. I’m looking for help to fix this issue. Thanks!

It boots from SATA, not USB.

Replace RAM and CPU first. If this doesn’t help, it’s possible your board is too old.
