Windows 10: Very Odd Clean Install Problem

Hello - I've been banging my head off the wall trying to work this one out for days....
I have a machine which is base OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 so I invoked the Upgrade and it activated with Windows 10 absolutely fine. (I used the keep files and apps option).
I then decided to wipe the SSD - I used a Windows 10 OEM installation disc to invoke the installer (No Fast Boot in UEFI and Secure Boot disabled) - also I had it setup for UEFI so I booted from UEFI for the disc drive instead of the legacy option - it opens in the installer in UEFI mode (ie. I delete all the partitions and it sets up the blank SSD with the standard GPT disc partitions) - it then happily copies the files to the standard partition and restarts.
This is where it gets strange....
I see the circular turning dots go round... the screen flashes and it goes to setting up devices - it gets to complete then restarts as normal, but when it comes back on I get the circular turning dots, the screen flashes and I then getting more circular turning dots, they spin 2 times and on the third time the screen freezes leaving 3 of the dots on the screen. The keyboard won't respond and I have to power off. When I startup, it does exactly the same again! the same three dots freeze in the same place.
I've tried going into the command prompt and viewing log files and it says stage 4 completes successfully so I should be seeing the OOBE screens where it says "Get Going Fast" and asks about "Use Express Settings".
I have also tried using a memory stick formatted by the Media Creation Tool instead of the original OEM Disc and same thing happens.
Anyway so I wiped and put Windows 7 back on and used the media creation tool to do the upgrade and I have found the following:
If I choose "Delete personal files and apps", the upgrade process freezes at 75% overall and 0% "Configuring Settings" - I can't proceed and have to delete Windows 7 and start again, but if I allow it to Keep Personal Files and Apps it upgrades to Windows 10 successfully.

Any ideas??? My thinking is there must be a driver this machine needs and the installation process is freezing, but I can't see what it would be?

Machine Specs:
ASRock X79 Extreme 4
Intel Core i7-3820
Intel 330 SSD
2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz
Gainward GeForce GTX 660 Ti Phantom 2GB
TP Link TL-WN851ND Wireless Card

Thanks in advance guys - I've done a lot of googling and can't find any mention of anyone having driver issues on upgrade. Please note I was originally installed in AHCI mode so I changed to IDE mode in the UEFI and I got the same problem. I'm running latest version of the UEFI.

Dictionary problems - very odd

See that you have posted elsewhere concerning this issue. Not a solution but installing this application upon my 3720 Classic which is similar Series 40 6th Edition (Initial release) to 6303i and it works perfectly as per screenshot below. I did notice that
JAVA application is 1.2MB in size and as some devices have issues if in excess of 1MB might have expected older 6300 to have had such issues but that not the case.

It is such a unique issue that you might have to even consider re-installing device firmware even though it is a brand new device to exclude problem at this end.

 

I managed to get this working - I had ran memtest86 and it was failing always on test 7 which I found odd. I remembered how the installer failed at the same point so I wondered if a driver/process was accessing the same part of memory thus causing the failure.
I put some new memory in and ran memtest86 - no errors at all including on test 7.
I then invoked the installer and it ran absolutely fine.

Finally working at long last! *Smile Thanks everyone
