Windows 10: Installer instantly reboots PC

Tldr: UEFI USB stick installer instantly quits on boot, I can't install Windows 10 version 2004 on my gamer PC but managed to install it on my laptop.

Today I decided to make a clean install of the 2004 version of Windows 10. I downloaded the official install wizard and formatted my 128 GB USB stick to be a Windows 10 installer.

I rebooted my PC, selected the stick, and my rig restarted to the installed OS. I did it again, then the same thing. I went to the bios settings, changed boot order from SSD first to USB first and now my PC constantly restarts. This problem only occured on my gamer pc, there was no problem on my HP laptop.

I made sure UEFI was enabled, CSM was disabled, secure boot was disabled. The pendrive uses FAT32, MBR. It was created with the official tool. I even tried using Rufus with the ISO but I had no luck.

My PC has a AB350-Gamer motherboard.

I believe my BIOS settings are correct. I have no idea what to do.

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??

 

PC reboots (no BSOD) on CPU stress

Hi fellow TPU members,

not too long ago, the box my gf's PC was transported in gave way on the stairs. Yes, you got it right, that sent a PC tumbling down a flight of steps alright.

Stuff broke. Also, stuff remained intact somehow.

I bought her a new case, new CPU cooler and we removed the floppy drive, so far so good. But the PC started crashing for no apparent reason, without a BSOD.

I tested:

• Memtest86+, left overnight, 0 errors
• Scanned the HDD for errors, nothing there
• Left FurMark burning up the GFX card and drawing some power, no problems there
• Ran Ubuntu from a Live CD doing nothing special, didn't crash
• Ran OCCT, Linpack, Prime95, all 3 caused reboots within minutes
• Oh, and I disabled "Restart on error" so I'm sure it's not a BSOD.

Now, I can still try and test something CPU intensive on Ubuntu, but my guess is the CPU didn't survive.
Before I do anything drastic like whippin' out the magic wallet and get her a new AMD quad, is there anything I didn't see?
I'm guessing the motherboard could be borkered as well, but can I check that other than replacing the CPU with a working one?
Any suggestions on which proggies I can use from an Ubuntu Live CD to stress the CPU?
