Specs:

CPU: i5-9400F
GPU: MSI RX 580 8GB
MOBO: ASRock Phantom Gaming 4
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 32GB
SSD: Samsung Evo M.2 512GB

Yeah 970 EVO PLUS NVME, I've also attached my EFI if that helps

That normal the freezes then I had the same issue, the 970 Evo plus is not compatible with macOS.
Fortunately after months of waiting yesterday Samsung released a firmware update, you need to update the firmware using windows or a bootable usb drive then you will able to install macOS

Ok awesome, I've got another drive so I'll try that first!
