Hello, I need help with the following problems with my computer and I will provide context on everything that happened

Initial Issue: I was having trouble with a game that kept crashing, but there was no problems with my PC at the time, I decided to go into the BIOS and load defaults in the BIOS where I do not have my settings saved.

What Happened: After loading these new settings, my windows failed to boot and I kept on getting errors like FLGHTMGR.sys has failed, KRNL errors etc, I tried loading into windows recovery environment and was completely unsuccessful, the computer itself wouldn’t let me get into it. I later on tried changing some settings in the BIOS which did not work at all, adjusting different XMP profiles etc, after trying everything I can in the BIOS, I later on get a USB drive and install windows creation tool on another USB formatting it FAT32, when I tried to install windows again it would crash and give me an error again, I decided to run a couple tests.

The Tests:

GPU: 7800 XT: I decided to test integrated graphics and see if my GPU was the problem and it wasn’t, it did the same errors and things on integrated graphics.

RAM: Tested my DDR5 T Force RAM on MEMTEST86 and it said everything has passed as far as memory

CPU: I9 14900KS it has had previously worked no problem

STORAGE: I have a Blue NVME and a KINGSTON NVME each 1TB, I deleted the boot drive out of the BLUE NVME which after that some problem still occurred after wiping that drive

SSD: I removed both my SSDs and it still wouldn’t get me into download windows

USB: I’ve been using a 14GB USB to boot windows back

Ive been still constantly been getting Kernel errors, Flghtmgr.sys watchdog etc

After ruling out all these problems, I swapped out the Motherboard, I previously had a ASROCK B760M-C and I swapped it out for a brand new ASROCK B760 RIPTIDE WIFI, the same errors occur pretty much, here is some more context, the USB I used for media creation and for MEMTEST86 has been the same one which is 14GB, I’ve just been clearing it and reformatting it, I really want solve this problem on my own,

What should I do?

    If you are unable to boot up from the drive Windows is installed onto, boot into BIOS and select the option to restore BIOS optimized defaults, save those settings and test if Windows will boot up.

    If not, insert your bootable Windows USB into your PC, then boot up your PC and on the manufacturers logo screen, repeatedly press the F11 key or Fn + F11 to bring up the temporary boot menu, are you then able to boot up from the Windows bootable USB.

    If not, boot into BIOS, on the security settings, disable Secure Boot and check if you can then boot up from the USB.
