So I just installed an ASUS B350 Plus, along with a Ryzen.. but now when I boot from my old HDD or my USB windows media, it just gets to the windows loading screen, the dots will do a tiny spin and then completely freeze.. I've tried turning off secure boot.. any other suggestions?? Help!
 
Solution
The Asus specifications page only list one supported operating system and it isn't Windows 8.

Operating System Support:
Windows 10 , 64bit
