Hello there!
[Current Build]
I am at my wit's end with this computer... I had a build very similar to the above one running on the same hardware with windows 7 for years now. Recently I have upgraded some of the hardware and wanted to upgrade it to windows 10 for a friend of mine to use. After the hardware upgrade, there was some issue with the SSD, so I wiped all of it and instead tried booting the fresh operating system from a USB. To no avail. The computer recognizes the USB correctly, but when booting from it either gives a "non-system disk" error (now resolved with BIOS update) or gets stuck on the "loading operating system" screen indefinitely.
Here is what I have tried so far to get this to work:

Here is what I have tried so far to get this to work:
- formatting the USB (I had issues with this on a different PC, so already went through the whole process of figuring that out - have a working FAT32 Win10 version on the USB that I successfully installed on a different PC)
- change boot sequence
- turn SMART off in the bios menu
- turn legacy systems option on in bios menu
- update the BIOS to f8 (flashed successfully from USB)
- try installing windows 7 instead (apparently there's an issue on this motherboard with large USBs, so I created a <4GB partition with win7 on it)
