Windows 10: why is my gaming pc stuck in a booting up loop when tryin to install a new ssd card

I got a new samsung 2tb 970 evo plus NVME ssd card and i made a recovery drive and i put in the new ssd and kept the usb in and everything went good until the installing part. It’s stuck at 64% and it just keeps restarting and only shows the installing screen for .5 seconds i cleared out the usb and started again but this time it didn’t even go through the whole welcome screen it just picked up right where it left off and continues to do the same thing

I am stuck in a Windows Installation Loop for 2 days while trying to install new SSD

Hi all, I am posting this question on behalf of my boyfriend. He created the following post earlier today on Reddit with no results and has been trying everything for the past 2.5 days:

"I have been struggling to install my new SSD into my PC. Recently I bought the Samsung 870 EVO SSD to upgrade my old HDD. There is no problem in finding the SSD, starting the Windows Setup and the installation. But when I finish the installation, it forces to restart. When it restarts I am back at the beginning of the setup.

I am booting Windows from a flashdrive with the following boot order:

• Boot option #1. UEFI: Philips 5.00
  
• Boot option #2. SATA: Samsung SSD
  
• Boot option #3 USB: Philips 5.00
  

I'm not really sure which parts I have in my computer as I didn't build it myself but I'll try to list as many as possible:

CPU: AMD FX-8350 | GPU: AMD RADEON R9 290x | MOBO: ASrock 970 pro3 r2.0 | SSD: Samsung 870 EVO SSD

I have tried many solutions on the internet but none seem to work. These are the solutions I tried:

• Pulling out the flashdrive when it restarts / Changing the boot order in the BIOS after it restarts.
  
  • After changing the order it should boot from the Samsung SSD, but I just get black screen with a flickering rectangle on top left (idk how to call it).
    
  • Or I get black screen with the following message: 'Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key ( But nothing happens)
    
• I tried using many different SATA port, but they all give the same result.
  
• I tried switching the RAM cards as someone suggested in another post but this gave me zero output when I switched the RAM cards. ( link: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/c.../?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 )
  
• I tried putting back the old HDD, but it gives the same loop as using the SSD
  
• I tried putting the BIOS settings back to default.
  
• (He also tried all options that people listed in the comments on the reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/wzulw2/i_am_stuck_in_a_windows_installation_loop_for_2/)
  

Here are some photo's from my BIOS settings:

SATA controllers: imgur.com

Boot order: imgur.com

I am quite new to this so I am not really sure what to do. If I forgot to share some important info, please let me know. Would love to hear if anybody have any suggestions."

Is there anybody who can help him? We literally have no idea what to do to fix this. Even trying to put Windows on the HDD does not seem to work anymore so we are very stuck... Thank you in advance!
