Windows 10: New PC Build Windows stuck on boot screen

So I just recently upgraded my PC build and just finished building it. I have a USB copy of Windows 10 Home that I installed, and the installation process went through smoothly, but when I turn off my computer and then turned it back on, I am just stuck on a frozen boot screen. I have double-checked to make sure everything is plugged in, and even unplugged and replugged my RAM, GPU, and m.2 SSD that windows is installed on. Here is a picture of the frozen boot screen that I get, and sometimes it just boots to a black screen.Specs for my build are:MSI MPG Z690 Edge Wifi DDR4 MotherboardMSI MAG

Installing Windows 11 on New PC Build

Hello - I am running into an issue while trying to install Windows 11 on my new PC build.

I am able to get to the step where Windows wants to connect to a network in order to continue with the installation. However, I am not identifying any networks whatsoever. I have tried WiFi as well as having the PC plugged directly into the router via an ethernet cable. However, I continue to get stuck on this screen (screen shot below).

Here is a link to the parts used to build the PC in case that helps identify the issue: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kWRmxs

Does anyone have any insights to the steps I need to take to resolve this issue?

Thanks for your help!

 

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??
