I'm working with a rog strix b550-f gaming WiFi II paired with a Ryzen 5 4500. Windows 10 is installed on an SATA SSD from my old system, but now my new setup is freezing in BIOS when I power it on. Help needed! VID20231226020749.mp4

Sure, I can make it simpler. You're asking about EUI, CSM, Legacy, and SSD detection. It means the system recognizes your hardware through BIOS settings. Yes, the SSD is showing up in the BIOS, which is normal.

You're facing a limitation since you only have a PC for adding and clearing data. You don't have a laptop, USB, or SATA connection available.

BIOS is the foundational firmware that powers your computer's hardware, managing input and output functions across various devices. While it has been around for a while, recent years have seen a shift toward UEFI, an updated version designed for faster performance and modern components like NVMe drives connected via PCIe. This transition offers improved boot times and better system compatibility. A few additional useful details.

Consider setting optimized defaults in your BIOS settings. This restores the configuration Asus suggests, preventing accidental changes. Press F7 if you're not already in Advanced Mode, then navigate to the top-right Save/Exit menu. In the available options, select Load Optimized Defaults. This provides a stable starting point for more reliable settings.

This will not affect your Windows hard drive. It will only modify the BIOS/UEFI settings. The BIOS works at a lower level before storage is used, so optimizing defaults won't impact your Windows disk.

You could try adapting the method by using whatever tools or resources you already have available.

I completed that task now.

Return to your UEFI/BIOS settings. Navigate to the Advanced tab if needed. Look for the SATA Configuration option. Verify the SATA Port Enable and SATA Mode settings.

Navigate to the Boot section (instead of Advanced), then pick the CSM (Compatibility Support Module) choice. Here, configure the Launch CSM option as Enabled. (As @Schnoz recommended.) Once activated, new options will appear. Configure Boot Device Control to UEFI and Legacy OPROM, set Boot from Network Devices to Ignore, choose Boot from Storage Devices with UEFI driver first, and set Boot from PCI-E/PCI Expansion Devices to Ignore. This forces your BIOS to rely on the SATA controller for booting and disregards any NVMe devices connected via PCIe. After adjusting these parameters, press F10 to apply them and then click Esc to close. Each setting changes how the system boots: Enabling Launch CSM turns on compatibility support during startup. Choosing UEFI and Legacy OPROM lets you boot from both traditional BIOS drives and modern UEFI ones. Disabling Boot from Network Devices stops attempts to boot from Intel PXE networks. Setting Boot from Storage Devices to UEFI driver first directs the system to use UEFI for SATA or SAS drives. If that fails, it falls back to legacy BIOS. Ignoring Boot from PCI-E/PCI Expansion devices prevents booting from NVMe or SAS over PCIe cards. Upgrading to a NVMe device later requires changing this setting. F10 is a shortcut to save these UEFI/BIOS configurations.
