You're facing ongoing freezing problems with Windows 11. At first, the issue started when installing from a USB onto a brand-new SSD. The process would freeze once the screen appeared to name the PC and log into your Microsoft account. You tried using four different USB drives and two installation tools—MediaCreationTool_Win11_23H2 and MediaCreationTool22H2. Both memtest86 checks passed without errors. After removing the SSD and testing it on another machine, no problems were found. Now only basic components remain connected: graphics card, two SSDs, RAM, power supply, keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

After a break, you restarted the installation of Windows 11. You had to restart again to finish, but the system would freeze within minutes after logging in, no matter what you did. You're thinking about reseating the memory to see if that helps. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Even though this seems like a hardware problem, you might attempt to build a USB installer with Rufus. Either obtain the ISO from Microsoft yourself or allow Rufus to download it.
When setting up Windows, remove the secondary NVMe drive. This isn't about fixing the issue but avoiding additional partitions during installation.
Your RAM is suitable and you've confirmed compatibility, so we can rule that out.
Is the cooler correctly installed and functioning? You can check temperatures in the BIOS settings.
Regarding BIOS, does your motherboard run the most recent version? This could influence stability, particularly if it's significantly outdated.

I haven't used Rufus before, but I'm willing to try. Prior to this problem, overheating wasn't an issue; my system stayed cool. I generally don't overclock much, but since this happened, I reset the BIOS to stop any overclocking attempts. I was up to date last time I checked, but I'll double-check the BIOS now. Appreciate the advice.
