Windows 10: Windows 10 x64 1809 fails to start on Asus M2N-E SLI

Hey everyone,

I tried installing Windows 10 Home x64 1809 on the system listed below. I created two partitions of ~75GB each, formatted both and successfully installed Windows on the first one. After the setup restarted my PC, the following occurs:
It succesfully gets to the "Getting Devices Ready 100%" and then restarts.. afterwards those loading dots keep moving until, eventually, they get completely stuck and the PC restarts after a while. If I let this happen for a few times, eventually I'll get the light blue (not BSOD) background screen saying Windows failed to start and I'm allowed to choose 'Restart' or 'Advanced options'.. I'd really appreciate some advices on this. Thanks!

Note: I tried installing both from a USB stick and from a DVD, with both leading to the same Symptoms listed below.

Specs:
Motheboard: Asus M2N-E SLI
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 6000+ (socket AM2)
RAM: 4GB DDR2 RAM (I have 4 DIMMs of 1GB each, I think there are two dual channel kits installed (from two different vendors)). I really doubt this could be an issue, but it's possible that one kit runs at 667MHz and the other at 800MHz, though I'm not sure
Storage: An old WD 160GB hard disk, which shows no signs of failure in its SMART diagnosis and has quite acceptable sequential R/W speeds of ~75MB/s
