Does that mean booting into my flash drive using EFI boot rather than MBR? In EFI boot, Haiku reboots itself after lighting up 0 tiles, and in MBR boot, Haiku hangs at 0 tiles lit. And one time when I hit power, my motherboard didn't power down, but remained on with a black screen, and I smelled magic smoke. My computer still works... for now.

If I hold Shift and/or Space during boot, the same thing happens. Note that I have a Nvidia GT 730 GPU salvaged from an older machine. I suppose I'll file a ticket.

EDIT: I can boot nightly 55756 if I hold Shift while restarting Windows, or run `efibootmgr -n ....`, but run into the same self-reboot issue if I press F12 from my motherboard.
