I managed to fix the problem, so basically there was a fan speed issue that the pc wasn’t happy with and wanted me to fix so alway went to bios to get me to fix it. Once I override that it was fine. Got an AIO so the fan speeds are fine. Thank you all for the help

Hello welcome to the forums! We're going to need some more specific information than this in order to help you.

 

Where does it go instead of into Windows? The bios? A blank screen?

Does it stay there and you have to manually get it into Windows or does it automatically make it in after some time?

 

What are your full PC specs?

Ok how did you install Windows? Have you messed with the bios settings at all?

When fresh installing on a new system such as this one you shouldn't need to mess with any bios settings it should just automatically detect the installer and once Windows is installed it should automatically be the primary boot device. Unless you manually changed boot or bios settings. I would try resetting the bios to defaults and see if that fixes the issue.

 

Also please make sure you are quote replying to users you want to directly respond too. Using the middle arrow button in the bottom left hand corner of their comment. If you don't it will not notify them that you have responded.

Used a usb, only had one drive installed at the time and didn’t change any settings in bio or windows

Did you select the SSD as 1st in order of boot priority  ?

Many motherboards still have the list of all drive type sources that are checked by the bios on boot and if you did not place your M.2 SSD windows drive to the top slot 

the time needed to run thru them might be just a little slow and defaults to bios where you then select the drive manually to boot from.

This is sounds like a bad cmos battery on its last days. The Cmos on a motherboard can be where the motherboards quote bios memory is powered. REMEMBER to be extremely gentle when doing this and make sure the power is off  AND UNPLUGGED and use a esd bracelet that is well grounded.

REMEMBER botttlenecks can happen at all points of a PC part. Make sure you are at equilibrium. For all parts unless you intend to upgrade at a later point. Also QA Tested AAA Games.

PS: If this doesn't fix it >w< then you probably will need to RMA the board
