M1 Mac Studio Ultra Sonoma 14.7 & App Upgrade Issues

Having issues with Sonoma 14.7 update. Update loads but freezes on progress screen (black screen with the white apple logo and progress bar).

Worked with apple and said re-install Sonoma from disk recovery. Tried it but I get sent back to Recovery Mode once screen went back to progress bar and then goes blank (see pics). So I'm going in circles.

This has kept me from being able to enter safe mode. Once I boot up it freezes on the black apple screen with the progress bar. I cannot reach safe mode, just recovery mode.

I hoped to upload last Sonoma update before updating to Sequoia in a week or so. Now stuck.

I've been having other problems updating minor software apps like MS Office and Forklift. They update, but the progress bar for these updates never finish/complete. I re-open and check the apps and they are updated, but the progress/installation bars do not disappear. I have to re-start to remove them.

Not sure if these issues are related as the app upload/update progress seems to freeze when almost complete.

My biggest fear is this issue is tied to the logic board.

Any insights are appreciated.
