[SOLVED] (New Computer) Boot problems

[kimbo20]

Desktop (newly built) will freeze after splash screen. I can access the bios, but however on any bootable device and OS, my computer freezes.

• I've already determined that it's not a ram, cpu, gpu and psu problem.
• The ssd and hdd's are perfectly healthy
• I'm leaning to a cpu or motherboard problem
• just a reminder that I can boot into the bios without any problems
• on an empty drive I am brought to the insert media device screen. the only problem is booting onto a drive that has a OS or installation media
• please skip past telling me to clear/reset the cmos
• I turned off the splash screen and observed that the computer passes the post screen with no errors
• I have tried unplugging usb devices and storage drives in many different combinations
• I thought the problem was ram and replaced the sticks, but still no luck. (however it did make it to the windows installer language/region selection screen before once again freezing again
• all rgb lights will stay on after freeze, as well as the fans

note: my hdd's are from my old computer and one is a boot hdd while the other is a secondary storage drive to it. The ssd is new with nothing installed on it

Components:

• RTX 2060
• i5-9600k
• evga gold 550watt psu
• deepcool aio cooler
• m.2 1tb intel ssd (fresh nothing installed)
• 1tb wd blue 7.2k rpm (windows installed)
• 3tb wd blue 5.4k rpm(secondary drive to the 1tb wd blue)
• gigabyte B360 aorus gaming 3
• corsair veng. pro rgb 8x2gb

Also, just leave suggestions for now as I won't be around my desktop for a few days

Please provide input, thank you!

Have you checked any settings related to UEFI or Legacy in BIOS?

I have not. What might you suggest I do?

unplug all drives except the SSD with the OS and see if it will boot. If not, can you boot to a USB with the Windows installer - just to see if it boots. Are you intending to re-install a fresh copy of Windows?

Yes, I attempted that (unplugging all but the ssd) and still no luck unfortunately. The initial goal was to migrate/ clone the OS on my old hard drive to the new ssd, but now this problem occurred, so I just decided to wipe and re-install when the problem is resolved. Also I can't boot the windows installation media as my computer will try to, but then freeze. Same with a windows to go key and a Linux key no luck.

Well, first check which options are there. Then try changing the BIOS booting between Legacy and UEFI (sometimes there are extra options special to mobo) and reboot.
