Hey there! Welcome to the forum for the first time. I wasn't able to locate any solutions online, so I'm reaching out for your assistance. I've assembled my own PC for the second time and everything proceeded smoothly. The setup was going well until the restart, when it restarts itself and displays the American Megatrends screen again. I checked the details—my M.2 SSD is recognized as a boot priority card and labeled as Windows Boot Manager, but it doesn't start Windows. I remember leaving the USB in during the restart, so I thought you should remove it when the countdown begins. After trying again, it still won't boot Windows. I'm using a Z490e motherboard and an i9 10900k CPU. If you have more details, feel free to ask! Thanks! IMG_7216.HEIC IMG_7217.HEIC

Just a quick note! I got Windows running and completed the full setup. I began installing drivers, which meant restarting my PC. The issue is it keeps showing the American Megatrends screen, and the only way to access Windows is by pressing a button to boot the M.2 on itself.
