Hey Tom's!
I bought a Gigabyte Z690 GAMING X DDR4 V2 (rev. 1.0) recently. It wasn't showing the post screen when turning on and wasn't waiting for key press to enter bios, it went straight to windows login screen after a while when turned on even after flashing different revisions of bios from qflash plus and clearing CMOS. Also, it wasn't able to go to Advanced Startup when you press Restart Now from Windows 11 > Settings > System > Recovery. I tried reinstalling windows from the within file explorer, but it didn't restart correctly during setup (restarted with blank screen for more than 5 minutes). Now it isn't posting at all, it just lights up and fans spin up but no screen. I even tried removing my nvme drive with just usb that has windows installation files (rufus) but it seems like the usb is not in the boot order either. I'd be glad if someone could kindly guide me.

With Fast boot enabled it only skips some part of POST and still allows entering BIOS usual way with timing maybe some more sensitive change. Something else might be wrong.
