I dont know what to do. It won't boot at all now. Just gets stuck on the asus logo. Bad motherboard perhaps? How could I check? Buy a new motherboard and hope it fixes the issue?

Your computer does boot from the boot drive. Windows just fails to load properly. Safe Mode is intended for exactly this kind of situation, but Microslop in their infinite wisdom has made getting into it as convoluted as possible. See if this helps you to get into Safe Mode: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-startup-settings-1af6ec8c-4d4a-4b23-adb7-e76eef0b847f

This problem doesn't in any way affect your ability to boot from USB. If your PC for some reason can't boot from USB, it's a separate issue. Can you enter Boot Menu? UEFI Setup? Do you get any error messages when you try to boot from USB?

You choose to boot from USB drive or in recovery mode via BIOS/UEFI (you are already booting Windows if you see the Windows logo).
