I just finished building my PC with a Gigabyte B650 motherboard, but I'm having a major issue. I keep getting stuck in a loop where it takes me back to the BIOS because I can't find a proper boot sequence. I've tried a few things like resetting the CMOS battery, enabling CSM support, and reseating both my RAM and GPU, but nothing seems to work. I've looked for solutions on YouTube and elsewhere, but I'm still at a loss. Can anyone help me out with this?

It sounds like you need to dive back into your BIOS settings and select your boot drive manually. Once that’s set, make sure to use the Windows Media Creation Tool to install Windows on that drive. That should get you started!
Just to clarify, are you saying your computer can’t find a boot device, or are you struggling to figure out where to change the boot device settings? That’s a common problem when setting up a new build!
It's a bit of both. The easy BIOS says it can't find a boot sequence, but it sees my NVMe drive as a peripheral. Still, neither my NVMe nor my USB drive is showing up as a boot choice.
I can see my NVMe drive listed in BIOS, but it doesn't show up as a boot option. Is there something specific I need to do?
