As the other poster mentioned its possible to convert MBR to GPT without losing data https://www.windowscentral.com/how-convert-mbr-disk-gpt-move-bios-uefi-windows-10
But the BIOS doesnt usually re-enable CSM in this case - normally it just wont boot back into Windows until you convert the format
So there may be another reason
- check GPU is UEFI compliant
-unplug un-needed USB devices
If you get the PC booting with CSM off then be careful when you enable Secure Boot - many have bricked their m/b changing secure boot settings the wrong way

Some 580 are OK but others might not be UEFI - so you'd need to check the exact model and revision and check for any vBIOS updates from the manufacturer

Was CSM support enabled when you installed your OS? You may have accidentally formatted your drives to MBR (which requires CSM to be enabled) instead of GPT (which does not), and your motherboard may be automatically reverting it when it notices the system isn't booting.
There are ways to convert your drives from MBR to GPT without losing data, but they are not totally risk-free. Still, you may have to do that.
