Error encountered during startup. System freezes upon initialization.
Hello everyone, I recently assembled my computer and everything seemed fine until I tried to install Windows. Around the 10% completion point, a warning popped up stating ‘Windows 11 installation failed.’ I tried using an SSD that already came with Windows 11, but the issue persisted. Once I booted up, I reached the manufacturer’s logo and a spinning circle froze. I’ve restarted several times without success. I also changed my RAM to a known working configuration, but that didn’t help. I’m planning to buy a new USB drive to try installing Windows again, and I’ll also update my BIOS since my motherboard is revision 1.0. I’m unsure what’s going on or if I made any mistakes. Thanks for your attention.

Have you attempted to set up Windows 10 on it? If not, I would go that path then upgrade to 11 at no cost.
This approach is a solid plan. If you're unsure about hardware issues, installing or booting a Linux distribution can help verify system functionality.
Great news! Windows 10 is set up properly. I'm about to try installing Windows 11 now.
