So i built my PC 6 days ago and i haven't been able to use it because its been crashing minutes after booting windows it also crashed multiple time while installing windows and during setup. But the wired thing is that my rgb on the keyboard and mouse shut off and it doesn't post to my monitor but the rgb on the ram and CPU cooler stays on. Does anyone have an idea of what i can do to fix it?

SYSTEM SPEC
cpu: ryzen 2700x
gpu; rtx 2070 super
mobo; asrock itx/ac
cpu cooler; nzxt kraken x52
psu; evga super nova 550 gm
case; nzxt h200i

Boot to a USB drive with linux on it. grab a USB drive, a copy of rufus and a linux distribution.
http://distrowatch.com/ has tons of differing linux distributions and download links. I personally am fond of linux mint with cinnamon.
https://rufus.ie/ the utility used to extract the ISO file to the USB drive.

use rufus to extract the selected ISO to the thumb drive. it will make the drive bootable and you can run linux from the drive once done.
Reboot into linux and proceed to test the hardware. connect to internet, watch videos, await problems.
if linux is good and stable the issue is most likely inside windows or otherwise software related.
this is a test of the hardware.

I have a problem where windows would crash as soon as it boots, now i know whats causing it but i dont know how to fix it. My motherboard is a asrock b450 itx ac and it has bios version 3.50 installed and 3.50 is not recommend for pinnacle ridge and i have a 2700x as my CPU. But to make it work i need drivers and i cant install them because i cant access windows on my pc and safe mode docent work for some reason. Does anyone know of a fix or a way to get a older bios version running.

syatem specs
2070 super
ryzen 2700x
550 gold pus power supply
asrock itx/ac

thanks for the help

Use a different PC to download the BIOS file to a USB drive. You can update the BIOS directly in the BIOS. Windows not required. If you are reusing a Windows install from a previous build, you may never correct those problems without a clean OS install.

I figured it out because on the asrock website it says "we dont recommend updateing bios if you have pinnica, raven or Bristol ridge" and since my CPU is a pinnicale ridge i think i need older bios.

So i have made like 2 or 3 other post about this but i cant seem to find the problem. All i need to know if this is software or hardware. The issue is that every time i turn on my pc it starts to boot. But after like 1 min of setting up windows it crashes. Here are some things i tried. I tested different ram, different power supply, updating bios, changing mother board and rebuilding it.
SYSTEM SPECS
ryzen 2700x
asus b450i gaming
msi ventus 2070
power supply evga 550 gm

Even the newer BIOS will support a 2700X; certainly no reason to go backwards to an older one.... (BIOS size constraints had newest versions stopping support for some of the very oldest/slowest CPUs, but, certainly the 2700/2700X are not among those with dropped support)

QVL is just the RAM the maker had to test with when the board was being made. they test a wide swath of makers and models to ensure broad compatibility. most of the RAM running today is not on the QVL of the mobo its plugged into. fun fact.
do you have the diagnostic speaker connected near the power switch, is it saying the RAM?
get a speaker connected and you can hear the motherboard if its telling you what is wrong.
