I updates the ME driver and flashed in the BIOS 1601, but now cannot boot.  I get a FB error code with a “Detect HDD” message.  I reverted back to BIOS 1403, but still getting the same result.  Can’t boot from a Win 11 USB drive & can’t get the BIOS/UEFI menu to display…

Any suggestions?

Try switching to the second bios using onboard button.
