So recently I decided to build myself a new fairly modern PC and while putting everything physically together went okay, this thing is turning into a nightmare trying to get it working right.
Current specs are:
MSI B550 Tomahawk Motherboard
Ryzen 9 5900X CPU
RX 5700 XT Red Devil GPU
32GB G. Skill Ripjaws V 3600mhz/CL16 DDR4 RAM
Samsung 980 Pro 1tb M.2 SSD
Crucial MX500 1tb SATA SSD
SATA DVD Drive and a 1tb and 2tb HDD I borrowed from my old computer.
So, the issue is that I installed Windows 10 (21H2) onto my M.2 drive and at first it was doing what you'd expect where the BIOS splash screen would come up and it would seamlessly transition to the windows loading circle and get to the desktop in like a few seconds. But for some unknown reason after a couple more boots it stopped doing this and now it goes to the BIOS splash, then the screen blanks and then it goes to a windows loading circle with no logo whatsoever. I have tried so many things to try and fix this and I'm pulling my hair out at this point, below is a video showing this issue (sorry it looks so bad, this camera tends go out of focus in dark lighting).

I removed every SATA drive, removed the BIOS battery and put a new one in, re-installed Windows once, updated the BIOS to the very latest version as of this writing, swapped the GPU with a 6GB GTX 1060, used a Macrium Reflect rescue USB, etc etc... these are the suggestions I got from another forum I posted on about this issue (I wanted to post there first because I know this forum is much more about retro stuff but at this point I'm so frustrated that I wanted to see if anyone here could tell me anything different). Nothing fixes this at all.
And another problem, with both my RX 5700 XT and GTX 1060... I get lots and lots of stuttering in the games I've tried. For example, when loading No Man's Sky you see the scene of zooming into space, well for me I get an absolute ton of skips and pauses during that and it's not smooth at all. Even in-game there's random little and massive stutters here and there.
This is my very first ever totally custom modern build and I'm very disappointed with how this has turned out so far, there's no reason these specs should be performing like this. I'd seriously appreciate any help.
