I recently built a new PC. Initially, everything seemed fine—I was able to enter the BIOS, all my components were detected, and temperatures were normal. I then proceeded to install Windows 11 using a bootable USB drive.
I successfully booted into the Windows 11 installer, configured the installation settings, and started the installation process. However, at some point during or after the installation, my screen went black. After waiting for a while with no progress, I force rebooted the system.
From that moment on, my PC has not been able to boot properly. No matter what I select—whether it's the USB drive with UEFI, the USB drive without UEFI, the M.2 SSD where I installed Windows 11, or the Windows Boot Manager—it never gets past the AORUS logo.
When I turn on the PC, I see the AORUS logo with the spinning dots, but the spinner freezes before it can start rotating. After about 10 seconds of being stuck, the system seems to restart the process, but the PC does not power off. I can still access the BIOS. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this issue and how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
