Uninstalled AC with the uninstall tool, and installed AC 5.4.10.0 clean. Everything was working and my issues with the motherboard not showing up were fixed. At least until the first power cycle. It was working perfectly across several restarts, but after the first time I powered the computer completely down and started it back up, the infinite loading screen is back. There has to be a way to fix this (NO I am not reinstalling windows so dont even start with that)

UPDATE: Nevermind. It was just a brief glitch. After a restart, its working fine again.
