motherboard b450 aorus pro
ssd kingston 240gb

i have no idea what to do anymore, at this point i tried:
with media creation tool, with rufus, different formats, clean + deleting all partitions, with partitions (new button), with partition using cmd "create primary"..

switched thumb to a new one, still doesnt work.. resetting bios settings, changing settings..

this is the only drive connected.

this actually happened before when i first got new parts, i fixed it somehow(ssd was a used one), now its a new ssd

i searched youtube, the internet, nothing seems to work this far.. maybe im missing something.

please any one suggest anything im determined to try everything.

thank you in advance.

Both of those are errors with the drive. What is the story about that SSD? New? Used? Previous build? If it's new I would RMA it. Send it back and have them send you a new one. If you are reusing an old drive I'd check the drive for errors. Plug it into a different computer and see how if there are errors that can be fixed. You might also want to look for a program that can "zero fill" the drive.

What error message do you get? We can't help if we don't know how it's failing to install.
at this point ive gotten multiple depending on what i tried, usually when its "unallocated space" and i click next - it waits a LOT and then shows one of these two:
0x80070057
0x80300024

also when i did somehow got to the next page its stuck on 0%

its brand new, i guess i will try to rma it.
just making sure, all the rest of your comment is for the condition that its not new right? or i can still try to plug to another pc to error check or zero fill?

Does the ssd have a GPT partition table header, not MBR?

from a google search i saw kingston a400 ssds come uninitialized meaning no particular type "built it" if im correct, the media creation tool partitions with mbr iirc, but it didnt work

i also tried doing gpt thumb drive (using rufus) with the ssd converted to gpt using diskpart, to no success
