Hello. Because EA needs the PC to boot in secure mode, I had to set that in my BIOS. After making those changes, I ended up with infinite booting in BIOS. I tried enabling CSM support and using F10 to start the BIOS setup, but it didn’t work. Now I’m unsure how to fix this issue on a Gigabyte motherboard.

CSM and secure boot operate differently. When CSM is turned on, secure boot is turned off, and vice versa. Once you enable secure boot, verify its status in Windows. First, open System Information by clicking the Start button or pressing the Windows key, then typing "msinfo32" and pressing Enter. Another option is to search for "System Information." Next, navigate to the System Summary section within the window. Look for "Secure Boot State" and check its value—“On” means it's active, “Off” or unsupported indicates a problem.

You discovered a helpful tutorial that guided you through converting your HDD to GPGPT and made the necessary BIOS adjustments. After those changes, the PC now boots using Secure Boot. Great job!
