Got the Z790 Apex 3 days ago. Everything was going great until it wasn't.
I can no longer get into any operating system unless its in safe mode on my current windows install. If i do anything else it will hang on boot. Windows hangs on the spinning dots thingy, linux just goes black screen and the worst part is that when I went to reinstall Windows, the same thing happened, I can't even reinstall the OS. I thought some part died, so I started troubleshooting in these steps with no avail:
1- Unplugged every single drive on my PC and tried booting into the Windows installation through the USB Media Device.
2- Tried another set of ram sticks that works on my second pc
3- Tried another GPU.
4- Re-made the USB media device even though it works fine on my other PC.
5- Flashing other BIOSes
The weird part of all this is that when I go to safe mode it just works.
