Hey everyone,
a few days back I attempted to install a Crucial P3 Plus 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD. After rebooting my PC, it becomes stuck during boot and enters a reboot loop after displaying a blue screen with "UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP". Even after removing the Crucial P3 SSD, the same issue persists.

I've tried several things already:
- Inspected all cables and power connections
- Reset BIOS to default settings (no XMP, no reBAR, etc.)
- Tested various slots for the old SSDs and RAM sticks
- Attempted to access Windows Recovery after multiple failed boot attempts, but it still locks on the Gigabyte interface.

I recently installed new security software that seems to be causing these blue screens globally. If anyone has any suggestions or solutions, I'd really appreciate it!

My system details:
MBD: Gigabyte B550 Gaming X
GPU: Hellhound 7800 XT 16GB
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
RAM: GSKILL Aegis 16GB DDR4
2 x 2.5" SSDs

Review the MB manual; in certain situations, some SATA ports may be turned off when using M.2. Determine which operating system was installed and whether it was set in CSM/Legacy or UEFI mode, as these settings need to align with the BIOS configuration.
