So, I've had this motherboard for about 10 months, I bought it used on eBay, and today I decided to change the SSD for some data that I didn't want to delete, but at the same time I needed to reinstall Windows due to driver problems. I then prepared the USB, and at the end of the installation, I noticed that there are no other partitions except the Windows one. I tried changing SSD and USB, but nothing seems to happen. finally, now it doesn't even boot bootable USBs anymore. the most it can do is enter the bios and boot menu. does anyone know how to help me?

full system spec?
what the new and old ssd?
does the boot menu see the bootable usb? bios see the ssd?
I'll start by saying that it started having problems with the RAM and a front USB of the case a few weeks ago. Anyway, here are the specs:

CPU: AMD FX8320E
10GB RAM DDR3 1333Mhz
GPU: GTX 1060 ROG STRIX 6G
PSU: Some Silverstone 400w PSU

Old SSD: Kingston A400 480GB
New SSDs (I tried multiple SSD, but same model): SUV400S37
Yes, I can start to boot from the USB, but after the windows logo stop loading, and turn that purple screen, it stops loading. I can still move the mouse, but the PC won't continue the windows installation any further
Yes, both bios and booth menu sees every bootable device

Which Windows version ? Where did you get them and how did you prepare USB ?

If your trying to install win 11, it won't work. A quick trip to the manufacturers website for this product shows only support up to win 10.
No, I was trying to install windows 10, but it won't event finish of booting the USB. it stops at the purple screen, no "setup is starting" appears. I even tried 6 different memory sticks, every one by itself, on every single memory slot ( it took me about an hour ). But that's not only for win 10, it is for every OS, or bootable drive, I can't install anything. I have to install the os on another PC and then transfer the SSD. But I don't consider this as an option
