I'm assuming it stays off even after logging into windows?

Make sure everything is seated properly, all screws are all the way screwed, etc. Power Supply model? Wattage?

I mean, if you want fast. Buy an SSD instead. You could set them up in RAID to be connected drives. You'd avoid data loss, should one of them fail.

Is it installed properly and though a dumb question, is everything plugged in?

You could try messing around with the boot settings within your bios to see how your ssd(s) are interpreted by your motherboard

Size wise, everything should fit

Likely not the problem(assuming you update regularly but it never hurts to ask), are you drivers all up to date? Also is windows up to date?

Could it be a windows update trying to force itself through? Sometimes when I shutdown my machine(without the use of the case button) it will attempt to update itself, if a restart is required as part of the update install, it'll then restart afterwards.

Avoid DDR5, it's way too expensive rn

It could be how you have HDR set up within your OS. When it is enabled, there is a HDR/SDR brightness balance slider that you can use to change the darkness and brightness of the HDR effect

It's all about the use-case and the type of PC you are looking to setup. Some people want fans and some don't, that's why you see both

Does your screen go black routinely or more randomly? Say if you are just using your system does it happen? Or is it just when you are trying to play games? Are you using any sort of v-sync service settings?

No worries, we've all made the same mistake at one point or another.

If you have access to the router, you may be able to limit bandwidth within the router's OS. Probably varies router to router though

What kind of graphics card are you using? If you check your settings in some of your games, they might tell you if you are using your actual graphics card or if you are using an integrated graphics driver. Have you moved around any of your display cables? Like making sure that your display is plugged into your graphics card and not the motherboard instead?

Honestly, if it is a pre-built and turns on, you're probably okay with just the default preset performance. Going any further would require a deep dive into each part(knowing if each part itself is able to be overclocked and if you have the cooling necessary to do so). What kind of cooling does the system have? How many fans are there? Is the processor air or liquid cooled? Those sorts of questions

For any high resolution display(s) to work well, you'll probably need a graphics card, especially if you are considering running multiple, large 4k displays at potentially a higher refresh rate than 60hz.

Well, it's likely not the GPU causing any issues since you still have a display, assuming you tested it with the monitor hooked into you GPU and not the motherboard.

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED, I'm just curious. With the past 2(one being the current motherboard I use) ASUS motherboards that I have owned and used, both have had the random issue of not being able to detect an NVMe M.2. ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-E GAMING WIFI LGA 1200 being the first motherboard that gave the issue that I was able to resolve. The second motherboard being the ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi 6E LGA 1700. The systems that I built both had varying CPU's, RAM speeds, RAM types(DDR4 & DDR5), GPU's, etc. But for some reason really the only issue I had with either system is that one day the NVMe M.2 that I was using would work, the next it wouldn't be able to be detected. The NVMe M.2 isn't faulty and is still used currently. The solution would usually end up with me having to reset my motherboard to factory defaults and then changing everything back(XMP profiles, etc.) to how it was formally only for it to all the sudden work with the same BIOS settings. It just seems odd for it to work and then not work even though nothing really changed and then to still work once I change it back to the so-called "unstable environment". Has anyone else had a similar problem with NVMe's and an ASUS motherboard? I'm not really even upset with the issue because it's easy to fix, just annoying nonetheless.

Country? Like for purchasing? Can't recommend a laptop if we don't know where you can buy from

Usually within the bios you can set the boot order or the primary boot drive.

A fair point

No problem, happy building

I feel like I heard awhile back that there was already a couple work arounds for the LHR firmware. Even if there is some fundamental security flaw, nearly every PC part has a known or unknown flaw at some point.

Dealing with the bios is incredibly easy, as long as you aren't trying to remove or update firmware within the bios itself. Usually even a quick YouTube search will give you a well rounded enough answer to work your way into figuring it out. An example being "MSI XMP bios settings" or ASUS XMP bios settings" and chances are you'll get a whole list of videos to skim over.
