Can't boot NVMe SSD on Precision T3600 Workstation

Firstly thank you for any help you can give me.

I have a T3600 workstation and I bought a Western Digital WD Black NVMe SSD. I'm using a m.2 to PCIe adapter and connected it to a PCIe X4 slot.

The problem is that I'm unable to boot Windows 10 on my new SSD.

Here's what happens: I'm installing Windows 10 from an USB stick. I can see the SSD on Windows installation process. I can create partitions and start to install it normally. When the first step of installation finishes, the computer reboots and I can see the Windows Boot Manager on the UEFI boot options, but when I try to boot it, it does not proceed to boot and the screen turns black.

When I press the up/down arrows on the keyboard, the boot options render on the screen again, but when I select Windows Boot Manager and press ENTER, the screen turns black again and I'm stuck into this loop.

Does somebody have any idea on how to make this work?

Thanks in advance, again.
