Hi guys

Last night my pc was wOrting fine but everything was a bit messy and running slow so I decided to reinstall windows. By doing this I had winows 10 on a usb and I booted from the USB and started the setup installation. When selecting which drive to select to install too, I deleted my m.2 ssd and all the partitions with it and then selected 'new' which created a new partition and instead windows.

Once the setup completes I get this message:
The conputwr retarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error, Windows installation can not proceed, click OK to restart the computer, and then restart the computer"

There are no other options so I restart the computer and this happens

A blue screen saying my pc ran into a problem, WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR.

My M.2 light is on so it has power and all, I can't see any other problems.
I have reset my bios, ive done so many things and nothing seems to work, please help.me.out.

Specs:
I7 6600k
Asus z170-AR
16gb Corsair 2666
GTX 1070
2tb seagate
256gb m.2 intel 600p
EVGA gold 650w


Update: I got to the windows boot selecter, I can select windows 10 volume 5, then I get the same errors

Update 2: I opened regedit when the error came up, HKLocal machine/SYSTEM/SETUP/STATUS/ChildCompletion, and after highliting childcompletion, I opened up setup.exe and changed the number to 3, which got me to the network selection in Windows setup and options then I get the error:

Windows could not install, restart the installation

Unplug every single thing from the computer when doing the installation. only things that you absolutely need. unplug them when you are done with them, try this if not follow the next step
Its most likely your CPU that is the problem(Typically result of the cores having trouble communicating with eachother )
Have you updated your BIOS recently? I would check your CPU just to make sure and update your BIOS to the latest directly from the manufactors site.
You just want to install windows right?

if windows 10, when you are on the install screen, press shift+f10. This will bring up command prompt.
Type in the following. (This will delete everything on the drive)
Diskpart
list disk
select disk X (X being your boot drive)
clean
create partition primary
format fs=ntfs label=System quick
assign letter C
exit
{you can choose to test and try to repair your drive with the following if you wish, otherwise just type exit.}
chkdsk C: /f
exit

This will reformat the drive and clean it completely.
This readies it for an install, Go ahead and try to install your windows 10.
if it works good.
if not, It may be an issue with the drive

I tried and everything went fine in the command prompt, went to install Windows and said I couldn't because it wasnt a gps disk or something, so I formatted the partition and created a new one which created additional partitions for Windows features and it's installing, will update when it's done..
