I just put together a PC using some spare parts I had lying around and a few new ones. The motherboard is a Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P with a AMD Phenom II X4 955 processor. I'm trying to install Ubuntu through a bootable USB stick, but the computer won't recognize the USB. Based on Google searches this seems to be a common problem with Gigabyte motherboards.
I've tried the USB on a different computer and it boots into the Ubuntu installation without any issues, so I'm pretty sure it's set up correctly. On the newly built PC, I set the boot order as USB-HDD first and when booting it passes POST but stops with the message "Verifying DMI Pool Data.... AMD Data Change... Update New Data to DMI!" (It also says this on successful boots to a hard disk). In the BIOS it lists the SSD as the only drive while I feel it should also list the USB. The USB stick isn't detected at all, either in the BIOS or during boot. "Legacy USB storage" is enabled.
I tried different USB ports, which doesn't have any affect. Also the keyboard/mouse are connected via USB and they work fine in every port, so the USB connections are working. It's just not seeing the USB stick for some reason. I've also tried to access the boot menu by pressing F12, which takes me to a screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of the screen, and in the middle of the screen the letter "N" with a tilde above it and green square next to it.
Any ideas? I'm going crazy trying to get this thing to detect/boot from USB.
