Here are my specs:
**Brand new parts:**
ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus WiFi
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro NVMe SSD
**Reused parts (worked perfectly in my previous PC):**
RTX 3070
32GB Kingston Fury DDR4 (2x16GB)
Power supply
Air cooler
**The problem**
The PC enters the BIOS perfectly every single time.
Inside the BIOS:
CPU is detected correctly.
RAM is detected correctly.
SSD is detected correctly.
USB installation drive is detected correctly.
CPU temperature stays around 40°C.
The BIOS is completely stable. I can stay there forever without any problems.
The problem starts as soon as I leave the BIOS and the PC tries to boot.
Depending on the configuration, I get different results:
Sometimes it freezes on the ASUS TUF logo.
Sometimes it goes to a black screen forever.
One time it reached the Windows logo, then froze.
Another time it displayed “Press DEL or F2 to enter UEFI BIOS settings” and then froze.
**Everything I’ve already tried**
Reset BIOS to factory defaults.
Tested CSM Enabled and Disabled.
Secure Boot set to Other OS.
Boot Override from BIOS.
Used Microsoft’s official Media Creation Tool to create a new Windows installer.
Tried two different USB drives.
Tested with the SSD removed.
Tested with only one RAM stick.
Tested with both RAM sticks.
Moved RAM from A1/B1 to the recommended A2/B2 slots.
Removed Wi-Fi antenna and USB peripherals.
Confirmed BIOS recognizes every component correctly.
One interesting thing:
I have another SSD that already has Windows installed.
When I connect **that SSD**, the computer actually gets to the Windows login screen asking for my password, but i don’t have.
That makes me wonder if this is related to the Windows installer, the new SSD, BIOS compatibility, or something else entirely.
At this point I honestly have no idea anymore.
Has anyone ever seen something like this?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I’m completely exhausted after spending the whole day trying to figure this out.
