The UEFI firmware cannot list or hand off control to an operating-system loader if it does not detect a physical boot device. A loose cable, failed NVMe module, or otherwise unreadable drive will therefore trigger the "Operating system not found" message. Secure Boot settings, video-driver problems, or DHCP configuration do not prevent the firmware from detecting and listing the drive itself.
