I faced the same problem even I installed the public release. Nothing could
be displayed in the Boot Manager with an error message from my monitor. It
was about the refresh rate "out of range" problem, indicating the screen
display required 87 Hz for vertical while the monitor only supported 55-78 Hz.

Has any update already been released which can solve this problem, or has
anyone got any alternative solutions?

Thanks in advance!
