Check UEFI safe boot status in BIOS. do you remember what was the earlier status in the previous motherboard. Was it UEFI only or UEFI and Legacy. Try different combinations

If you are doing UEFI only why do you need to enable CSM. Keep CSM disabled. What OS do you have ? Also check your secure boot settings?

Do you have GPT or MBR ?

  1. Open up the Diskpart utility as shown in solution 1.
  2. Once you have loaded the diskpart utility, type in ‘list volume’.

Check if your volumes are intact
