Fresh installation (11.3-U4.1) won't boot (blackscreen, no error)

Hi everybody,

I just installed FreeNAS version 11.3-U4.1 from a bootable USB drive to my OS drive. The installation seemed to have succeeded, but now, after restarting and removing the installation drive, FreeNAS won't boot into the console setup. It just gives me the Mainboard POST and that's it... blackscreen :/

When installing onto the M.2 SSD, I mirrored it right away onto a SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro USB 3.1 Stick which is installed on the mainboard, but unfortunately, neither one will take me any further.

I checked again that the WD M.2 is selected as the preferable boot device in the BIOS, I enabled both UEFI and BIOS as booting options and I updated the motherboards BIOS, but nothing changes.

Has anybody got a clue what else I could try in order to get it working?
Thank you everybody in advance!
Stefan

Ok, I figured out myself that I needed to make a fresh install using UEFI and then it worked! :)
