New PC updates, unable to boot from USB for Windows installation
New PC updates, unable to boot from USB for Windows installation
I activated CSM support on the Gigabyte B650 AORUS PRO AX and gained four distinct boot choices. However, starting from any of these still results in a blank display marked by an underscore.
F12 navigates to the boot menu, displaying various startup choices. However, trying to load any of these causes a completely empty display with an underscore noted earlier
I wonder if the issue lies with the case port. Perhaps turning off the machine completely—either by switching off the PSU or unplugging it—might help. Insert your USB drive into the back panel and attempt to boot. If that fails, I’d consider shutting down, removing the existing installation key, creating a fresh one with a different USB drive, and connecting it to another port on the back. This shouldn’t cause problems, though it’s confusing so I’m assuming something is off. To set up Windows, download the ISO file and use Rufus (a free app) to convert the new USB drive into a bootable installation disk. The back port should work without the case. With an AM5 motherboard, the BIOS should be current, but your motherboard includes QFlash.
I tried installing Windows using several flash drives, various installation techniques like Rufus, and every available USB port on the system. Still, the problem persists.
Just checking if I'm missing anything about what might be wrong here.
