Question BSOD when trying to install Windows 10

I recently built a new computer and haven't been able to install Windows 10. The BIOS loads up fine and I can navigate it with no problems. I also updated it to make sure there were no problems with compatibility. When I exit the bios and attempt to install Windows 10 the CPU fans throttle to 100% and I get a BSOD with different error messages every time. I know for a fact the GPU works, the ram most likely is fine because I used the same ram from my previous build, and I doubt its the PSU. The original build had a 5900x and then I bought a 5800x which both end with BSOD. This leaves me to thinks it's the motherboard, but I want to make sure that this isn't some other problem before I buy another one.

My specs are:
  • EVGA 3080 XC3 Ultra Gaming
  • Ryzen 3 5800x
  • MSI X570 Gaming Pro Carbon
  • EVGA 750W GQ
  • XPG Z1 16 GB DDR4 2800 MHz
  • NZXT Kraken X63

and you made sure everything in bios is set properly for a windows 10 install, not like a linux server or any of that because some mobos for some odd reason even regular desktop boards will come set for sever settings basically and not windows
