Hey there! I'm using Gigabyte B365m ds3h motherboard and after disabling CSM ( Tried to enable secure boot ) I can't enter bios anymore. I've tried to enter the Windows Troubleshoot thing but it prompts me with a black screen. I've done a CMOS reset and tried again.. No success.

How did you perform the cmos reset?

Disconnected the PC from power and shorted the CLR_CMOS pins on the motherboard for a few seconds. That allowed me to get back in the bios with its default settings. After that i tried to disable the CSM again and the same thing happened.

When you wrote this, I thought you meant you tried again to get into the BIOS. Wasn't clear that you were able to get into the BIOS after the cmos reset.

Either way, how is your boot drive formatted? Is it in MBR or GPT?
Also are you running Windows 11?

My boot drive is GPT. As i'm not that good with this kind of stuff this is what the disk management says https://prnt.sc/uMxfrYDLODER

In that case leave CSM disabled either way.

Regarding secure boot I've just read about users having issues with Gigabyte BIOS', which might be related to your problem.
I suggest you disable CSM and leave secure boot disabled aswell and reboot to see if you can still access the BIOS. This is to make sure that CSM isn't the cause of the issue and it is actually secure boot that is causing this behavior. Then I would try to update the BIOS.

Well.. the point is that i'm not even getting to the secure boot option. I'm disabling CSM but it doesn't allow me to enable secure boot without a save and restart. Once the PC restarts there is no BIOS prompt and smashing the DEL key doesn't work.
