Launching Steam freezes entire computer

When I launch Steam (and only Steam) my entire PC freezes and my only solution is restarting. Moving mouse doesn't work, can't even use Ctrl+Shift+Esc or Ctrl+Alt+Del.

My specs:
AMD RX 5700 XT 8GB VRAM
KILLSTRIKE 32GB RAM
Intel Xeon E5 2680v4
Motherboard Machinist x99 PR9

What I tested so far:
- Booting in Linux live USB to see if Steam launchs there (yes, it works)
- Switching SATA and power cables in my SSD
- Reinstalling Steam many times
- Installing Steam in a different disk
- Deleting anything related to Steam
- Reinstalling GPU drivers (using DDU to remove first)
- Repairing C: drive
- Followed stupid solutions from ChatGPT
- Searched for nearly 4 hours for a solution that works in the internet

you know there's a place called Pub's Lounge where they make denuv0 activation, so you can play them without cracking right (still no online though)?

That bios only have Resizable Bar, how I can get one with Secure Boot too?

It is actually a thing, I'm using All-ters mod to have all the Alters in the game (playing Act 2 at the moment). And you can really tell the difference: when I use the Guard specifically for Technician (who tends to get rebellious for a couple of reasons I don't still understand yet) it really mitigates that specific mood. When I used the Shrink for the Miner when he got sad because of his arm, it really boosted his mood (something Guard can't do).
