Hello @abd111s 

Thank you for reaching out to us. We apologize for the delayed response due to a public holiday in our region and any inconvenience this may have caused.
May I ask which motherboard model you are currently using—ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI, ROG STRIX Z790-F GAMING WIFI, or ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI?
Could you please confirm your OS version and if the system was previously installed using Legacy BIOS (CSM) with an MBR partition?
If you enable CSM and set Secure Boot to "Other OS," are you able to boot into the system successfully?
Please refer to [Motherboard] Troubleshooting - Cannot find the hard disk drive or SSD(M.2) after motherboard powers... if needed.
If there is a mismatch between the BIOS boot mode and Windows installation, we recommend cross-testing with a different system drive or evaluating whether a disk format conversion is necessary.

Thank you.
