I have recently build my first PC, using these parts:

A few notes on the parts:
- I have been using the SSD for about 1-2 years now in a laptop I have, I moved it to my desktop build
- The PSU I bought it off Ebay, opened never used.
- The CPU I picked it up as part of the Prime Day Warehouse deal (open box item, and didn't have thermal paste, so was likely used previously for a short time).
Now I'm trying to do a clean windows install, but I haven't been able to get through a full windows install without a blue screen. I'm getting a variety of stopcodes, and sometimes no stopcode is included on the screen at all.
I have been able to get to the desktop and everything seems to be working but I'm getting a lot of blue screens. I have tried:
- CPU benchmark - seems normal
- GPU benchmark - seems normal
- windows memory diagnostic - no errors
- Memtest 2 passes - no errors
- Reconnecting mobo 24 pin
- Reconnecting 8 pin CPU
- Reconnecting SATA power
- Turning XMP off
- USB install with 1 RAM stick (tried both sticks)
- Doing a Windows Cloud install (ruling out USB issues)
- Using a different kettle lead (the one supplied with the CPU is very stiff)
I'm not sure what else is left for me to try, any advice is greatly appreciated!
