Windows 10: Windows setup keeps freezing within 2mins

I just built a PC, all new parts
• Intel i7-9700k
• Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WiFi
• Corsair CX Series 850 Watt
• Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD
• Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16
• ASUS Geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Phoenix Fan Edition DVI-D HDMI DP 1.4
• Samsung SSD 860 EVO 250GB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD

I am trying to install Windows 10 from a usb drive but every time the setup loads up, everything freezes within 2mins of initializing. I can get through the partition selection process but it never gets far in the 2mins. I can stay on the language selection screen and it will still freeze if I wait a minute or 2.

I’ve tried it with nothing plugged except the keyboard, 1 ram stick, and the monitor running on the Onboard graphics.

I’ve re downloaded the setup files to make sure they aren’t corrupt.

I’ve likely tried more stuff but can’t remember it all because I’ve spent the better part of my day yesterday working on this.
