System freezes during the second startup following the CSM adjustment.
When I turned off CSM support in the BIOS of my motherboard, everything functioned normally after saving and exiting. However, during the next boot, the system became stuck on the enter BIOS screen. My hardware details include: Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2, Intel Core i7-9700K, Gigabyte Z370P D3 (Bios version F15), Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK8GX4M2B3000C15 and CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 memory modules, Crucial P1 1TB with C drive and EFI boot partition. I use Samsung 850 EVO 500GB, MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ventus 3X OC, and Corsair RM550x. I’ve followed online advice such as ensuring GPT formatting, placing the EFI partition on the same disk as the C drive, and testing both with and without secure boot. Despite these steps, the issue only resolved once after a recent CMOS reset. I also have another compatible CPU available for comparison later. If you need further details, feel free to ask.
