Upgraded my motherboard, CPU and ram today from a 1st gen
i5 to a 12th gen quad core processor. 16gb crucial ballistix ddr4. Asrock H610M-HDVM.2 motherboard.
Wiped my old mbr formatted SSD & changed it to GPT and installed
a fresh copy of Windows 10 onto it.
When I boot my pc it'll do one of four things.
• Reinstalling windows 10 again
· Disabled legacy bios/csm entirely
• Booting without xmp
• Updating bios
-Installing chipset, sata & other intel drivers
• Restoring bios to default settings
Checked all sata cables, ram and PSU cables are properly
connected *Ensured my boot drive is formatted to gpt
4 passes of memtest86+ (ran for 3 hours zero errors)
• Scanned my ssd for errors and checked health with crystal disk
info (I've been using this ssd for years working fine even yesterday
in my old build)
Only things I can think of left to try is:
Install windows 11 instead of 10 or maybe try Ubuntu?
• Install motherboard speaker (maybe there's an error code I'm
missing)
• Try installing windows to a different drive
• Contact asrock as there may be a fault with their bios?
The thing is I don't think it's a Windows issue because sometimes
the boot won't go past the uefi booting screen and hitting my
keyboard won't allow me to do anything either like enter the bios or device boot manager or anything.
Anybody got any ideas of what else I could try? First time using a uefi motherboard and it's been a long annoying day lol

When I boot my pc it'll do one of four things.
- Either stay at the uefi boot screen and become unresponsive (hitting delete or f2 or f11 won't do anything)
- Make it past the uefi loading screen and show the windows white spinning dots and then show a bsod saying Inaccessible boot device. https://i.imgur.com/aPsHiOg.jpg
- Or I'll get this: https://i.imgur.com/sJEHBdq.jpg
- The rest of the time everything boots fine into windows. If I make it into windows everything works fine and I can play games etc. Seems very random which of the four it'll do. My ssd LEDs don't display anything unusual the times it bsods or my pc becomes unresponsive.
