Hi,
I used Macruim Reflect to clone my SATA SSD to a new M2. drive so I could use the M.2 as my windows boot drive. I’ve changed the order in my bios so that the M.2 is the first drive to load. I wiped and reformatted the SSD for data storage. When I booted up with the old SSD plugged in, the booting sequence got stuck at the mainboard screen without having the option to go into BIOS or Booting manager and then I repeatedly ended up at a Windows recovery screen, stating my PC could not be started properly (see in pictures below). Windows 10 booted up normally the first two times when the old SSD (completely wiped and reformatted for data storage) was not plugged in. The third time, I got the recovery screen again. The fourth time worked without problems, fifth time as well.
When I booted up with the old SSD plugged in again, the booting sequence got stuck at the mainboard screen without having the option to go into BIOS or Booting manager. After hard resetting with the button on the case, it booted normally to the M.2 drive. The next restart I got stuck at the mainboard screen thrice (initial restart from Windows and the two consecutive hard resets. The next hard reset got me to the recovery screen again.
Here is my system:
Mainboard: MSI B450M PRO-M2 Max
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500X, 6x 3.60GHz
Storage: Western Digital SN550 1TB

Do you have any ideas what I can do to fix the issue?
Thanks in advance for all your help!
