I assembled the system a few hours ago, yet I'm facing issues with installation or exiting the BIOS. It just freezes, Linux live setups, Windows installers, etc. But it doesn't really crash when starting up; everything appears normal and it recognizes my hardware. (The graphics card isn't visible, but I think it's unnecessary since it boots and I get video output.) My specs include: PSU: MSI Mag (a model I don't fully understand) 650 Watt GTX 1650 Ventus XS OC edition from MSI. A320M-HD R4.0 (ASRock) Ryzen 5 5600 Air Cooler X5 RGB from Rise, plus some Rise PCI-E WiFi cards (brand unknown), 2x8GB RAM at 2666Hz WD Green, a 480GB M.2 SSD, and a 1TB SATA SSD. Also, the BIOS is now at version 7.4, which supports the Ryzen CPU. I can boot into the BIOS, view my hardware, check drives, and perform tasks there. When I try to exit or install something, it crashes after just a few seconds or minutes—it seems unpredictable. My GPU works fine because I don't have an integrated video chip, and I can see everything. It's not overheating, the PSU isn't hot, and my drives are functioning properly since I'm struggling to set anything up. I've tested various USB ports and different drives, but nothing works consistently.

The issue occurs by freezing at a specific moment. It may not immediately stop but halts execution. The screen could become black or display an error. Windows might freeze and then shut down abruptly, while Linux could trigger a kernel panic.

I suspect something might be happening, though I'm not entirely certain. It usually becomes obvious when checking the CPU and the MB chipset.

Occasionally it stalls, occasionally it restarts itself without warning, it happens unpredictably, yet it tends to reset itself most of the time.
