They don't seem aware of Secure Boot, and assume you want to turn<br>
UEFI itself off, which is nonsense.<br>

I've recently bought an ASUS Sabertooth 990FX, which is a uefi<br>
motherboard.<br>
<br>
Secure boot cannot be ENabled. There is no such option yet<br>
in the existing ASUS motherboards, hence the support staff<br>
don't have a clue what is being asked.<br>
