I'm gonna pull my hair out..
I've read many many different threads and forums on this issue and none have lead to any solutions. Recently built PC for my service writing at our auto shop. Ran flawless for a couple months, one night they left it on overnight. Next morning I come in and she says there's something wrong with the computer. It was on the BIOS screen. I rebooted. Then I get a blue screen that is giving me a bunch of different faults. Kernel security check failure, page fault found in non paged area, 0xc00007b, 0xc000021a etc etc. and it just continues to boot loop like that.

So i break out my handy dandy media creation USB in hopes i can boot into safe mode or something. No luck, continues to throw the same random BSOD faults. Mind you, i removed the NVMe with existing OS on it just to see if I could install a fresh OS and that still didn't work. So next easiest and cheapest thing is putting in some new RAM, only in the A2 slot. Still no luck. At this point I'm thinking theres some hardware issue. Unplug everything from the motherboard except CPU and motherboard connectors and i still get the same issues.

Thought okay, now im suspecting a motherboard issue cuz (probably incorrectly assuming) if can boot to the bios then CPU has gotta be OK right? So i swap in a new motherboard and i get the same damn issues, i didn't right down all the code every time and i'm sure some different ones came up.
I'm just so confused on why it can't boot from a freshly created media creation USB. Ive you've used the media creation tool, I've used Rufus. Tried to boot it through legacy which also yielded the same results. Now I have created a USB with some tools to test RAM, CPU and such. But i'm almost at my wits end, does this thing need a CPU? Idk. For the record I've also updated the bios to the latest version as well.

System specs;
Ryzen 5700G
Asus X570-p
Corsair 3200 MHz 16GB

Does the NVME drive appear in the BIOS as a boot option? It sounds like you are booting to Windows then getting an error. This makes think it’s a storage issue. Do you have another drive to test with or a Live Linux image to boot from?

Where do you get stuck when trying to boot from the USB? Is it not an option whatsoever or does it boot from it then stop working at a particular step?

Swap out power supply for a tester one to rule out that as the issue. All you seem to have left is the CPU and power supply. Are you testing out of the case as well to rule out shorts.
Tryina avoid the parts cannon but it may come to that. I specialize in automotive diagnostic so I enjoy taking the steps to diag the issue properly. I have not tested it out of the case but I have been using a flash drive to boot a bunch of different CPU, PSU stress tests and I haven’t had a crash yet..so I’m at my wits end.

Pretty sure it does appear in the bios but right now I have removed the NMVe completely and am trying to boot with ONLY the flash drive with windows10 connected. I have multiple different flash drives and a 2TB hard drive I can test with.
So on first start up, it displays the asus logo, then that disappears for a few seconds, asus logo pops back up with a circling loading icon below it and it freezes while that’s swirling around.
