[SOLVED] Windows 10 occasionally gets stuck on spinning dots during boot

[hecarson3]

My recently built PC usually boots fine, but occasionally, Windows will be stuck on the spinning dots animation. Usually, it boots in less than half a minute, but I have waited up to a full half hour stuck on the spinning dots, with no change at all, before I decide to hit the reset button. After I reset my PC, boot almost always returns to normal. I've noticed that this usually happens after I go into the firmware settings, or on the next day. What I find most strange about this is that I am using a SSD, with Windows installed on it.

Could you guys help me find what the problem is, and suggest a solution to make the boot consistent? Thanks in advance!

Hardware:
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B450M-A/CSM (UEFI, with Secure Boot on)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G (overclocked, but stable)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 8GB (2x4GB) (overclocked, but stable)
GPU: None
Storage: Kingston A400 120GB 2.5" SSD

I solved it. Apparently, four of the SATA ports on my motherboard are controlled by the chipset, and two are controlled by the APU. I tried plugging in my SSD into one of the chipset controlled ports, and I have no problems with getting stuck on the spinning dots now.
