[Motherboard] When I use the integrated graphics card on the Intel® 500 series motherboard , why does the CSM option under BIOS appear gray and non-configurable?

Solution and explanation:

Please use a graphics card that supports VBIOS, then the CSM option can be selected.

Recommended graphics card series: NVIDIA: GTX 1000 series or above; AMD: RX5000 series or above

Q1: What is the function of CSM?

A1: CSM, full name Compatibility Support Module, is an item in Boot in BIOS, CSM can also support UEFI boot.
