Question B650M PG Riptide Stuck at Splash screen

[Klabusterbeere]

Hi everyone, would appreciate some help since I am out of ideas. Setup:

B650M PG Riptide, 7600X, 4070 Super, 32GB (2x 16GB) Patriot DDR5 6200MHz Viper Venom CL40 1.35V (@4800Mhz), Windows 10.

Problem: After bootup it just gets stuck on the Asrock Splash screen. Up until that point everything was working fine. I can get into the BIOS and the Bootmanager, but no matter what priorities I set it doesn't get past the splash screen (no "loading circle", just still image of the splash screen).

What I' ve tried so far:
- Update Bios
- Clear CMOS
- Disconnected all peripherals and harddrives
- tried booting from Windows USB Stick (doesn't boot either, just gets stuck again)
- disconnected the M.2 Harddrive with Windows on it / tried it in the other M.2 Slot
- connected only a SSD harddrive with windows on it (which works fine on my other pc)
- swapped the GPU


All harddrives show up in BIOS, but no matter the boot order it doesn't start into either of them, nor into the Windows Install Stick. The only way I got the USB Stick to boot was in legacy mode, but I wasn't able to troubleshoot or restore anything or set it to an earlier state.
Any ideas?

What BIOS version are you on?

Disconnect all drives except for the one you intend to install the OS onto, with the bootable USB installer for your OS recreated to rule out any mishaps or internal corruptions. Speaking of bootable USB installers, where did you source the installer from and how did you create the installer?

You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age(if it's been in use for a while).

Hi, thanks for your reply!
I am now on the most up to date Bios (3.16). PSU: Seasonic Focus GX 550W, about 5 years old.

I created the USB installer using the official Micorosft Media Creation Tool, just to be safe I also tried it with RUFUS USB.
I already tried using only one harddrive (SSD as well as M.2 SSD), but it simply won't boot into it unless I run it legacy mode with CSM enabled. The SSD I also tested on another PC and it works perfectly fine (same goes for the USB stick).

I also tried using a Windows 11 Image, but I am unable to install W11 with Secure Boot disabled and as soon as it's enabled and csm is disabled the USB Stick won't boot anymore.
