In short, these are the details Procie mentioned: a motherboard from Gigabyte A520 DS3H (bios updated), 16GB RAM at 3600MHz, an Adata 256GB SSD, a 1TB WD Blue 2.5" HDD, and a PSU from Corsair. The system boots into BIOS, the CPU is running around 38-40°C at idle, which is normal. RAM operates at 2666MHz without XMP enabled. All BIOS functions appear intact. The drives worked fine when connected to my laptop, but Windows booting caused freezing. I also tested power supply and confirmed its rated wattage with the tester.

The hard drive might be damaged or there could be no windows set up. Or I don't know.

@ManmanCezar I understand trying without an HDD is a good idea. Also, consider using the media creation tool available at the provided link.

I tried that too, plus I installed an SSD on the laptop and it starts just fine. I've used five different bootable USB drives and it's all working the same way.

Consider these options: If the HDD originated from your laptop, it might include some boot partitions from that device. You could attempt to remove the drive. Determine whether the Adata drive uses a M.2 or 2.5 SSD. If it’s a 2.5 model, try using a different SATA cable and power cable, and check another port on the motherboard.

Attempted similar issue; used a 128GB flash drive with Windows 10 Pro OS installed, but no disk connected, still encountered the same problem. SSD was brand new and verified on another system.

Have you checked if you activated CSM or Legacy boot in BIOS? It might explain why you're seeing this behavior.

I don’t think the drive is the problem because it works when I try to boot it using other system I Enabled Csm/legacy and tried it still didn’t boot up also tried when it is off attached below is the proof that bios registers every component tell me if something is off Also tried different ram slots and also a single stick of ram but still same problem

The drive isn’t listed in your boot order. It looks like the Store and Go thumb drive was the one you used earlier. Check the boot device menu to confirm your M.2 appears near the top.

I checked the setup and tried both methods, but the issue persists. It might not be the motherboard after all.
