** I am resposting this from Asus help site as I still haven't found a solution** Hello. First off I'm new! I built a computer from scratch last year. I have the Asus x570 gaming motherboard. I installed windows 11 a few weeks ago and it has been running fine. Last week, it green screened and now I can't get it to boot to windows no matter how I try. I'm at a loss, I keep thinking there is something I can do other than send my motherboard back, but no one has any advise that has worked yet. I've included a video that, is the problem. Has anyone had issues? Or suggestions. Ive now disconnected all drives but my main m2 drive, I have windows bootable in there. I've tried booting legacy. And uefi. I just don't know what else to do! Things I've tried...

  • Checking ram sticks
  • Flashing bios
  • Upgrading bios
  • Taking all drives out and just booting windows from USB
  • Legacy and non legacy boots
  • Iso of win 10 from RUFUS
  • BOOTING UEFI from usb drive and installing windows that way

No matter what I try, it just sits on the window square screen.

ALSO it will let me boot just fine to a Linux USB without an issue. video

    OK, keep me posted.

    Please also go over the steps I wrote out and make sure none of the others were skipped too. We often find out later that the fix was the skipped step.

    If you need help performing any step I will help.

    Tomorrow I will try putting the sad in another computer to install. I had already taken a SSD drive out of another computer and installed it on this computer and it would not boot. But I will try it again and see

    So what happened when you tried this step:

    If all else fails you can move the hard drive to another PC to do the install with it plugged in alone. Windows 10 is remarkably adaptive to new hardware without needing adaptive restore. If it will start it will swap out all drivers requiring several restarts. You can also try applying a same-version System Image to the intact SSD/hard drive.

    Yes sir. I have built this computer and other computers from parts and I've never had this issue. And yes, I feel I've done those steps over and over for a week now....it does get extremely frustrating.
