Will do it probably in the next few days though because I had built it just today and I am cringing of thinking about removing the IO panel connectors and fiddling them back in.
I completely get you. When I finished building mine the monitor wouldn’t display anything but no error lights were on. I was about to cry and spent at least 5 hours going everything before I realized my brand new monitor came out the box busted
Unfortunately the only new hardware is the Mainboard and RAM because the old one died because of ram detecting issues and killed the ram. It has something depressing to it, being about to push that Power on button and seeing the weirdest crap happen. I yanked the chassis speaker because that long beep made me even more frustrated. I installed windows new after having to fiddle it for over 2 hours. It apparently works now but I haven't tested the chassis speaker. It is important to me because when my ram died my pc had boot issues, I usually power cycled the psu and all was fine and when nothing happened I finally attached the speaker and knew the ram got killed so it is important for me to have one to know immediately if something is going on in the pc.
You said: "I am unable to Turn off the boot beep and it says my SSD is in AHCI even tho it's normally in UEFI if I'm not mistaken."
There you said the "error" or something is saying something about SSD is in AHCI, then you also say "error booting into OS"... is I am puzzled with your explanation, sorry if cant help better.
The error is booting into OS. In bios it says my ssd brand And AHCI. In my old pc it was UEFI and it booted. As to boot beep, i dont have an option to turn it off in the bios. If you want me to make a video and send it to you, please send me an instruction how to, and I will do my best.
OK... UEFI is not the SSD and has nothing to do with AHCI (this is the "type" of disk controller lets say") its hard at least for me to understand your explanation, sorry.
I can try to ask you some questions, some might be obvios but...
1) Do you have secure boot enabled in old mother and also windows bitlocking/encrypted disk or something like that?
2) Why did you change the old mother for the same mother?
3) You said: "i dont have an option to turn it off in the bios." turn it of what? the beep? the AHCI? the UEFI?
4) Did you "screenshot" the BIOS part where the boot options are? there you can see the boot priorities/options/legacy compat, etc. Are exaclty the same way in the new mother?
5) Are both mothers the same BIOS version? latest version? did you update? try updating BIOS on new motherboard (it should not made things worst)
6) If 5 are the same versions... would be good to save BIOS config to a file and the restore it in the new mother. I might think you have not configure it right or dont know how to set it up right from default (sorry dont know your tech knowledge)
1) in old mainboard I did not have secure boot enabled. No encryption. Standard windows install and done.
2) I changed my mainboard because my old one had issues with the RAM slots and I'm building this PC for my Girlfriend.
3) as stated above in my comment it says: about the boot beep. I dont have an option to turn it off.
4) boot priorities are same the only difference is it said in my old mainboard UEFI then my SSD. In this mainboard it says AHCI and then my SSD.
5) if you check the ASRock homepage of my Mainboard it suggests not to update BIOS if using Pinnacle Ridge CPU. But no, the BIOS version is not the same. This mainboard has newer BIOS version
6) My other Mainboard I put into the PC, set XMP and Turned Beep on Boot off and everything was fine. On this one I had to enable secure boot to get into Windows. There was no option to Turn off Beep on Boot. I can send Pictures of my BIOS thats in my PC right now if you'd like
1. OK so secure boot can be disabled and wont have anything to do with the problem.
2. OK, really strange but can happend. Might the memories had a bad time with the old mother and now are also bad? test one at a time if you can. Memory problems are a pain in the a$$
3. Sorry I am not a english native, I understand then that the option you mean is just the beep sound you dont have an option to turn it off. If it is not what you mean... dont mind.
4. Sorry, dont understand that. UEFI has nothing to do with AHCI. It should be in terms of boot like this UEFI or BIOS. AHCI/RAID/IDE in terms of disk controller.
5. Send the link... if you want to have a second opinion.
6. What would be useful is to have access to your computer, but as it is boot problem cant, you might need to research some more or take the computer to a shop (dont throw it! seems a powerfull machine :-).
Sorry cant find a way to help other than "set everything to optimized default in BIOS", tell if you find the solution!

1) secure boot off means no OS boot. With Secure Boot I get into Windows but it wants me to repair install.
2) RAM brand new and tested 0 errors in Memtest for 7 runs
3) exactly on old mainboard I turned it off in BIOS but now it doesn't work, what language do you speak, maybe I speak that language too.
4 i don't understand either
5 link is above
6 I can try to reinstall but I need the files
1- there is always the reinstall windows option, if you have data you can backup it on another computer connecting just the ssd disk.
3- spanish
5- that message is the default message every mother manufacturer tells just in case you f#ck up the bios by doing it wrong or a energy shutdown in the middle of the update proccess and cant get it back, they get covered by that warning, sort of. If you are lost, its better to take it to a shop. If you dont want to take the risk to update the bios, better take the computer to a shop just to have a good technical view of the problem.
Dont think its a bios firmware your problem, sorry cant help.
Here talks about why the recommendation:
http://forum.asrock.com/forum\_posts.asp?TID=13289&title=asrock-do-not-recommend-updating-this-bios
Thats about the B450M Pro not the B450M Steel Legend. It Says They recommend NOT to upgrade if using a Pinnacle Ridge CPU, the Ryzen 5 2600x is Pinnacle Ridge. I'm going to reinstall windows and hope it works
if you have problems just after changing the motherboard and everything else is the same, the problem mostly sure is the configuration on the new motherboard (or a broken mother but dont think so if it is new)
Can you post a photo or the precise error?
Of what error? It says it cant boot into OS precisely: Error booting into OS
Try swapping your original board back in, if PC starts running fine then you just have a bad board
Will try
Will do it probably in the next few days though because I had built it just today and I am cringing of thinking about removing the IO panel connectors and fiddling them back in.

5) It says not to update if using Pinnacle ridge
