Windows 10: Gigabyte G6 KF keeps BSODing.

I wanted a nice gaming laptop but this is getting frustraiting. I've tried verifying steam files, I've updated drivers, I've run a memory diagnostic, and still no answers. I can open my event viewer but nothing makes sense to me there. Sorry i'm not as great with computers as I thought I was.

could really use some help to figure out whats goin on

I've tried these things thus far to fix it but no errors were returned and its still BSODing

1. Check and Reseat Your Hardware.
   
2. Clean Your Computer.
   
3. Update Drivers.
   
4. Run SFC and CHKDSK.
   
5. Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool.

BSOD Critical Kernel-Power 41 (63) On a Gigabyte G5 KF

I checked the Gigabyte website and noticed that there is a BIOS version for your device released on February 16, 2024. The current BIOS version installed on your device is from April 8, 2023.

Therefore, I suggest you update your device BIOS following Gigabyte's instructions.

See if the mentioned behavior stops occurring after doing this.

gigabyte Z370 HD3 + Samsung EVO 970 won't install Windows 10

Newly assembled system:

• Gigabyte Z370 HD3 V1.0 motherboard
  
• Intel i7-8700 CPU
  
• 2x DDR4-3200 16GB RAM (F4-3200C16D-32GVK)
  
• Samsung EVO 970 500 GB M.2 SSD (MZ-V6E500)
  
• Thermaltake TR2 S 500 W PSU (TRS-0500P-2)
  
• Deepcool Tesseract case (seems doesn't matter)
  

All components come new, unpacked.

Windows 10 Pro installation failed at the step "Getting files ready for installation." when about 70-80% complete.

I used both the original Windows 10 Pro DVD and a USB stick prepared by a Microsoft tool; the result is the same.

I tried to use the pre-installation SATA driver from the Gigabyte website.
Once I installed this driver at the step "Where do you want to install Windows", my M2 drive had disappeared from the list.

The same situation repeated with another set of components.

By the way, when I try the same set of components but with an ASUS Z370-P motherboard, there is no problem with Windows 10 installation.

I still need to assemble some systems with Gigabyte motherboards.

Update: It was easy to install Windows 10 on the SATA SSD. Same conditions: Gigabyte motherboard, but SATA SSD instead of M2 SSD.

Any suggestion what to do in order to install Window properly?
