Running out of ideas, losing my mind,

My PC wont boot into OS, can't reinstall windows as it's stuck in bios, tried multiple times, 1 time it worked, began the reset PC process, only for it to be stuck again on BIOS, the loading circle just stop moving, like it froze

This one is the worst state, yesterday, the random freeze occur sometimes and 2-3 force shutdowns are enough to boot into windows, but after I did CMOS reset today, its just getting worst

I can't get into auto repair screen aswell, as I'm locked in bios loading circle

My troubleshoot attempts:
  • Ran memtest, no error found,
  • Checked all drives are in good health according to crystaldiskinfo,
  • Reset the CMOS
  • Restore bios to default,
  • Removed all drives except ssd
  • Checked ssd health from bios
  • Swapped the nvme to another slot
  • Reset PC attempt but failed coz the issue of stuck on circle loading still there
  • Turned off secure boot
  • Clean format the SSD with windows on

Please help, any suggestion is appreciated

Hey, thanks for the quick response, wrote down my specs above,

BIOS ver: E7C91AMS.AA1
BIOS Build Date: 05/26/2022

Where did you source the installer for the OS?
From official Microsoft Website, just installed to my USB drive yesterday, via media installer

Also just now I formatted the SSD from bios, and it still froze, removed the SSD, and plugged in the USB windows installer, it still froze, so apparently not driver issues

Have you tried cutting all power to system overnight. I know it sound crazy but it has solve issues for my many times. Unplug all power and don't touch it for 8 hours.
