Hello,

I have a system that has been running an upgraded Windows 10 for about three months. Yesterday it stopped booting and I was unable to get back into the install. I decided to purchase an new Samsung EVO 500GB and try again with a fresh install. However I am unable to get through the install process completely. At various points, most commonly in the part at 6% the computer crashes with a blue screen showing one of three errors. SYSTEM _SERVICE_EXCEPTION, KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE, and a BAD_POOL_HEADER. ALl restart the computer and throw me into an unending loop. I thought this was AHCI related but changing it has no impact on the install. I am however able to transplant the drive and installer USB to another similar system and finish the install just fine. However, once I move the drive back to the intended system it loads into windows and crashes soon after. I would love to use UEFI and AHCI but am not having any luck installing a fresh copy of Windows 10. The annoying thing is that loading Optimized Defaults and resting the CMOS has proven fruitless as well. I am on the verge of trying to find a new MOBO. Does anyone have any experience with this, or have any advice, I have tried to flash the BIOS as well.

System Specs:
i5 3570k
GA-H77N-Wifi
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 2x8GB
Samsung EVO 500GB
EVGA 430W PSU

Again everything was working fine a week ago, so I think it's either GPU related or HDD/SSD related, but maybe you guys know more then I do as I am pulling my hair out o_0

Are you running ram in an XMP profile? try running http://www.memtest86.com/ on the ram as it may be it

It would seem its the pc and not the ssd if you can install to ssd fine in another pc. It shouldn't be the GPU as at such an early stage of the install it wouldn't have loaded the gpu drivers as it doesn't need them. And the errors aren't common GPU related ones. They more data related.
I actually did make sure to uninstall every drive apart from the intended insstall drive. Yes I am also sure that the system wasn't just loading back into the USB. Thanks for thinking about it though :)
