Windows 10: HELP BSODs during fresh installs of Windows 10

2 days ago I finished assembling my first PC build! I was super excited when I got it to POST. However, when I try and boot windows from USB, BSODs occur seemingly at random at different steps of the windows setup.


Here is my system: 3700X, 2080 super, Asus x570 tuf gaming plus Mobo, Seagate barracuda 2 tb HDD, Crucial P1 nvme ssd, Gskill ripjaws 5 3600 2x8gb, AG apexgaming 80+ gold 750 watt psu, Lian li lancool case


Here is what normally happens: I go into my bios and select the USB partition with windows as the first option to boot. Then I restart, and let windows load. Here is the first place where a BSOD happens, and it happens here most often. Specifically it BSODs when the dots start spinning in a circle. The error message is different every time, but I see Service System Exception most often.


If it doesn't crash there, I get the purple screen asking to setup windows. I follow the steps, selecting the version of windows and putting in my activation key. Then it asks which drive to install windows to. It has crashed at this moment twice now, the first time after I clicked "next" to install windows, and the other time when I was deleting partitions that were only partially downloaded.


Finally, if I get through choosing where I want windows installed, the installation begins. The final place where my pc crashes is when the progress bar for "Getting files ready for installation" happens. I have not been able to get past that point.

Note: every time it crashes, it is a different error. Also, sometimes I see different messages, sometimes with percentage till restart, sometimes without


MY TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTS: At first I thought it was my RAM, but I ran memtest86 and it completed it with 4 passes. I then updated my mobo bios, and no change. I doubt my CPU or GPU are the problem, they show up in bios.

I believe my SSD and hard drives are good. I am able to download things to them from command prompt, and I can see them both with diskpart.

I thought it might be my flash drive, which is a SanDisk 128 gb USB a drive, but I tried it on another 16gb drive and that didn't work either.


That leaves 2 sources of error: the Mobo and the PSU. I know that my PSU is not name brand, so maybe there is something wrong with the PSU. That would explain why the installation is so unstable and why BSODs would happen randomly. However the system seems to run fine when I wasn't installing windows or Ubuntu.

Also, I tried booting Ubuntu, and that failed as well. My monitor had a bunch of artifacts and numbers when I tried to boot it.

With the MOBO, I have no idea how I would troubleshoot it.


Every so often I am able to get to the windows troubleshooting page, but when I try "Startup Repair," it says windows could not fix anything. From the same page I can access command prompt. From command prompt I ran chkdsk c: /r /f and went through that process, but that didn't work. I also ran sfc /scannow and went through the verification process, but that didn't work either.


Any help with this troubleshooting would be appreciated!
