Slow down. When you boot what? A Debian installation (which,
presumably, appeared to be successful), or a Debian installer? If the
latter, which one, the netinst installer or a live CD (which has its
own less flexible installer)? Or a USB stick made from one of those?
And where exactly is it failing? In the on-board firmware (BIOS)? Grub?
During the boot process?
Also, which version of Debian? The current one, 12.x (bookworm), or
something else?

For that, you will have to get help from the firmware vendor or
Gigabyte.
