So I just bought a new gaming rig and assembled it. (Specs down bellow)

I want to install windows 10 on my ssd, but the problem is that after installing windows on the ssd it restarts and goes back into the windows set-up.
Also when I’m in the bios before the windows installation my ssd gets detected in the boot priority but after I install windows on it there is no ssd being detected, only
the usb Stick with the Windows install media.

The windows media is not the problem since I successfully installed windows 10 on my hdd (Same gaming rig, just unplugged the hdd),
also when I was on the desktop my ssd got detected and worked.

I looked everywhere for answers but can’t seem to find one. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated since I’m stuck in a loop of errors. Thanks in advance.

Things I tried:
-Changed CSM (Compatibility Support Module) to Enabled (UEFI only + UEFI drivers first) CSM Disabled, CSM Auto.
-Secure Boot: OS Type Windows UEFI Mode.
-Deleting keys. -SATA Configuration Mode to AHCI.
-Enabled all SATA Ports. -Converted the SSD to GPT format.
-Changing port slots for the ssd (although it gets recognized before installing the os).

Pictures of the BIOS settings (Note that some settings were changed in order to try and slove the problem

disable secure boot?
Thank you for trying to help me though, I have a feeling that the SSD my be at fault here which is weird since I can store things on it but it seems like it can’t properly store windows and boot it. I will go on Tuesday to a pc specialist and if he doesn’t solve it I will buy an evo 970 from Samsung
