Hi, I'm facing some serious issues with my PC. After installing an Intel M.2 drive, updating the BIOS, and reinstalling Windows (my previous version was corrupted), I've tried clearing the BIOS settings, reinstalling the OS, and even removing the old Intel M.2 card. The problem persists—my system doesn't boot properly and it keeps loading the Windows logo. I'm also told everything is up to date with drivers and Windows versions.

My setup includes: Windows 11 Pro v.22H2, i9-12900KF CPU, MSI RTX3080Ti GPU, Corsair Vengance Pro 32GB DDR4 RAM (3600MHz), MSI MPG EDGE Z690, Samsung M.2 980 Pro SSD (2x SanDisk 2TB), WD10EACS 1TB, WD80EZAZ 8TB, and a partitioned setup with Intel M.2 SSDPEKNW512G8H and WL1500GSA6454G drives.

I've checked the manual for slot compatibility and thought it might be blocked, but everything appears to show up correctly in Windows when I reach the desktop. Anyone have similar experiences or suggestions?

I frequently use certain programs, though they require payment. Some sites offer a one-year free trial or a 30-day Pro trial for a limited time. The trial lets you use the software fully without issues, and it includes free versions with some features disabled until you upgrade. I often purchase iobit products because they function well and provide valuable bundles at times. Their offerings include system care tools, driver boosters, software updates, malware protection, and an uninstaller. (I don’t earn money or endorse these products, but I’ve used them for years and they’ve resolved many problems in my systems.) For free versions, check out the links provided.
