Hello everyone, I just completed setting up my first PC using Linus’ excellent tutorial. Everything went well until this issue. When I turn it on, it displays the screen shown here and remains stuck no matter which key I press. I’m stuck and can’t move forward. I’ve updated the BIOS multiple times, thinking it might have caused the problem, since my CPU (Ryzen 9 5600X) and motherboard (ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming) should already be compatible. The motherboard looks fine with all lights green. I’m unsure what to do next and would really appreciate any advice you can offer.

Stupid question, but is your wireless keyboard charged/turned on? Tried with a wired keyboard?

I didn't test it with a wired keyboard, I'm about to try it now, thanks!

It’s clear that without an operating system on the SSD, the BIOS won’t function properly because there’s no ongoing process to support it.

It might be due to missing insertion or a connection issue between the SSD and the Mobo.

It's likely the wireless setup switches the Function keys to multimedia roles instead of the F keys. Bypassing this could mean pressing the Fn key before typing F1. You might want to check this behavior in Windows to confirm.
