I'm curious if you have another computer to try your Windows USB installer on.

You could take your SSD you have for your new build and move it over to a host borrowed system and see if your Windows will install over there. Un plug any SSD's and or any hard drive the host computer regularly uses.

If it goes forward installing Windows 11 great. That tells us your installer is fine.

You could let it keep going if it's installing if you want and when the screen says your computer will start in 9-8-7-6-5-4 count down turn off the host computer. Pull the USB stick and remove your SSD that goes to the new system.

Re-hook up the host computers regular SSD and that system is not effected.

Put the drive back into your new system and see if it BSOD at that point or just finishes the install. Do not plug back in the USB thumb drive in you new system just boot and see what happens.
A new cpu fixed it idk if the cpu is bad because i bought a 5500 instead of a 5600x so it could have been compatibility issues im unsure tbh
