So, i'm not new with computers, love them from when i was young... MSDOS, WIN 3.1, ...
But i have never encountered anything like this, i guess im just getting old and lazy.

So i have this setup (see below) and i added a new m.2 ssd - WD Black 850x. I tried installing a new version of BIOS, put factory defaults. Changed USB thumb drive, USB ports, different windows image, ... and i cannot complete the installation. It ends with BSOD. Here's two of them: First right after installation is SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION... and sometimes is KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE.

Failure of new M2 drive is not possible - checked with multiple tests, all is OK.
PC in the same configuration works just fine with other SSD (with this m.2 inside, visible data aso).

From my last attempt, i have one dump file - DumpStack.txt if it helps.

Any ideas? Because im out of them :(

So, update: 1 stick makes no difference, that's what i thought. Firmware is latest on the WD 850x.
I took the drive to work and installed Windows here perfectly, will see what happens at home setup. Then the only thing is probably in the MB - but what?

Do you have another hard drive you can install windows onto using the problem system. That will eliminate a faulty mobo. That would leave you with either a component incompatability or possible bios settings etc. The m.2 has been successful on the other system. Try it if you can.
