I'm having trouble getting my PC to boot directly into Windows through my SSD. I have an Asus motherboard. I changed the boot priorities to make sure the SSD is always the first, but my PC still always boots to the "American Megatrends" screen. On this screen, it also tells me I have a CPU fan error. I don't know if that is even a part of the problem, so I just figured I might as well add it in. Anyways, I've also heard turning off secure boot should fix the issue, but I can't turn mine off. The option to disable it is grayed out, and I can't click on it. After making the PC boot right from the SSD, everything works fine, it's just a bit annoying and inconvenient having to force it to boot from there every time I turn it on.

Did you make sure that your CPU coolers fan is connected to the CPU Fan header on the motherboard? That error is coming up for a reason. So long as it reports that error, you'll always get booted to the screen. If your fan is working, however, you can set the CPU fan monitor to ignore it in the BIOS

Okay, so there were two fan headers right by the heatsink, one above the other. I had it plugged into the bottom one, so I moved to the one on top, and now it seems to be working. Thanks!
