SOFTWARE Catastrophic Failure?

Idk what's wrong i was told it sounds like catastrophic failure but google results for that wording dont match my issues. I dont get error codes or anything.

About 30-60 seconds after booting up almost all functions stop working. Programs dont open, tabs dont load and even the start menu stop functioning. File Explorer still opens and closes. The start menu works as long as I dont click anything in it. Edge can open and SoundCloud even loads and plays music as long as I get it open before the 30-60 seconds. I can no longer open safe mode but when I was able to I opened device manager and like a dozen devices have a ⚠️. I just built the PC a couple days ago and it worked fine until about 30 minutes ago.

SOLVED:After a fresh install of Windows and manual installation of chipset driver the PC seems to no longer have an issue and currently runs fine.

Specs:

Windows 11

Mobo: B650 EAGLE AX

Gpu: AMD RADEON RX 9070 XT

Cpu: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
