That was my plan B, Sysrescue.  It wouldn't boot either.  It gets to the
point where it is trying to find the USB stick, then errors out because
it can't find it which is odd since it is plugged into a USB port and
the mousey don't work from there either.  Thing is, it works just fine
with the old mobo.  I actually tested it, mounted some stuff and
everything.  Works fine on old mobo, errors out on the new one.  I also
switched back to the legacy and desabled the UEFI stuff.  It still
didn't work.  It does try to boot from it tho so it does see the USB
stick at first.  It just can't see it later on.  Hmmmm.
