Raspberry Pi 4B Stuck On "Welcome to the Raspberry Pi Desktop" (USB BOOT)

[/RaspberryPi]

This is my first raspberry pi device and I am trying to get it set up to boot off a 1TB Samsung SSD connected via a SATA to USB adapter. I have been successful occasionally getting it to boot from the SSD but after restarting the pi gets stuck on the "Welcome to raspberry pi desktop" splash screen. I have updated the EEPROM via terminal when booting using an SD card and changed the boot device to USB. I flashed a new copy of Raspberry OS Desktop using BalenaEthcher and the Raspberry Pi Imager and get the same thing.

This is a used RPi4 bought off eBay as I cannot find them anywhere else...

TLDR: RPi4 stuck on welcome splash screen in USB boot.
