I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 11 and created a UEFI bootable USB drive using Rufus. However, when I disable CSM in BIOS, the USB shows up as bootable media, but I can't seem to boot from it. To troubleshoot, I also attempted to download NVMe drivers during the installation to rule out any communication issues. Here's my BIOS settings: [link to settings]. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Just a tip: Always ensure you back up your data before making any BIOS changes. It can help prevent potential data loss if something goes wrong. Also, make sure that after turning off CSM, your boot options only show the USB drive — if that's not the case, double-check your settings.
Make sure your USB drive is selected as the primary boot device in BIOS. It’s important to leave the boot type set to UEFI only, especially since you used those settings with Rufus. The A320 chipset from AMD should not need any additional drivers during setup, so it should work fine without them.
