I currently have a 128 SSD on my computer, but I just bought a new 512GB SSD, and I've already installed a temp linux distro but my computer doesn't boot it, it send me to the screen that you see in the pictures. I don't know what's the problem, and I already explored the entirety of the BIOS to see what was going on.

hmm.... try switching out of legacy boot mode (to uefi) and then disable pxe boot

I did that and it worked.
