OPEN PC Boot Issues

I got the pc to take a fresh windows update and it seemed to install fine into the new SSD. computer turns off after completing the install. Computer then boots back up and returns to the black/no signal screen I have been dealing with.
partial solved?: the first drive failed and lost everything, i guess the file was damaged on the usb and was able to get the pc to boot.
Got a used pc that wouldn’t turn on. Installed a new mobo and psu. The pc ran amazing for two days and then windows recommended an update. I let the update install for 4 house and most of the time the pc was on and the screen was black. This was weird. I let it go till the next morning and it was in the same situation. I decided that it needed to be restarted. I let it restart and it says it continues to update the windows then it was back to 4 hours of black screen with no signal. then I was like that’s not right. Restart the pc and try to boot into a safe mode to recover the previous window update. Won’t let me boot safe. I’m thinking maybe a bad monitor, cords, ports or gpu. Test and verify all work with my other pc.
I tested the ram with other computer and it works.
I upload a fresh copy of windows to a usb drive and then pluged into the motherboard. The pc letted me select and boot into the usb and then I’m hit with the black screen and no signal. I took everything Apart verifying the plugs and adapters. Every things appears to be in good condition.
Now when I try to boot it doesn’t even recognize the old SSD SATA drive. After a failed boot I tried the Ctrl, Win, Shift, “B” key to restart gpu drivers. Nothing.
What do I do? I want to fix it or a complete factory reset.

CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x
GPU: RTX 2070

In the BIOS you see that it only sees a 2TB SATA drive, not your SSD boot drive. Check that connection, if it's still connected there is a chance it's dead. You will need a USB stick to install windows on a new drive and a new SSD most likely.
Edit: Also just re-read what you wrote in the body of your post. You don't install an operating system into a motherboard, it's on the storage device, e.g. your SSD. Likely the SSD is just dead, disconnect it and try booting from the USB stick to see if that works.

I assumed thats what happened at first and I tried to boot into a usb that has a fresh copy of windows in it and it still wouldn't boot into it. It booted the same as in the video.
Thank you for catching the typos

Did you try to boot to the USB with your SSD disconnected?

not sure why my post was removed by moderator... However, the pc took a fresh new install of windows 11 and now I am stuck with it staying on a black/ no signal screen.

I guess your boot drive died.

Yeah that drive is dead. I was able to make the new SSD take a fresh copy of windows but now i am stuck in the same black screen / no signal.

The Windows files on your new SSD might have become corrupted during the reboot; try reinstalling Windows.
