Question PC Freezes at Windows 10 Install

[winterfellstark]

Hi all

I'm looking for some advice. My PC started playing up at the weekend, videos that played on the day before started stuttering and couldn't cope with 1080p streams.

I reset Windows 10, but it failed. I then decided to wipe the SSD and try to install from scratch. Now the windows 10 install freezes at random places or installs and then freezes at the win 10 welcome bit.

Here is what I've tried.

Removed all USB devices.
Removed graphics card.
Removed each of the memory modules and tried each slot- both do it.
Tried two SSD and one optical drive.
Tried a Linux distro - this also fails.

I've reset the bios, which comes back with a CPU temp of around 40c.

Mobo is a gigabyte b250n phoenix
Processor is an i7 7700K 4.2 ghz

I'm at my wit's end, does anyone have any advice?

Have you recreated the installation media? If you haven't tried an alternate there, but have tried everything else, perhaps the issue sits with the media used?

Yep, I tried the windows 10 media tool iso with a usb and a dvd.
