PC will not stay on, even after clean install, new hardware, not sure what to do.

I don't have much knowledge at all of PC troubleshooting or internal errors, but I've been rebuilding one for a week and I'm going insane. My PC got stuck in a restart loop where the OS would boot and stay on the screen about 10 seconds then fail and restart. This happened infinitely through tons of troubleshooting and reconfiguration. Eventually I gave up and left the pc off until I had money to replace the 10 year old mobo and cpu. I just installed a new mobo, cpu and RAM. I kept my old HDD and SSD, as well as a relatively new PSU. I installed everything and did a clean install of Windows 10 through the MCT. Now when I turn it on, the PC will boot up to the win10 homescreen, linger for a second and restart immediately. The recovery screen appears but the attempted startup repairs are useless. Please help if possible. I am unable to boot into an OS on the old mobo or cpu, as they are fried, yet I am having a similar issue with new hardware which makes me think it could be old drivers? The only external devices are keyboard and mouse.

Specs:

Thermaltake Toughpower 750w psu
Gigabyte GA AB350 Gaming 3 motherboard
Ryzen 5 2600 6 core cpu
Ripjaw 228 pin DDR4
GPU: Sapphire R9 280
 

Yes, I downloaded the MCT from the microsoft website and created a usb bootable drive. The GPU is a Western Digital 320 GB WD3200AAJS, the SSD is a Phoenix 3 Sata 3 2.5, 120 GB
 


I installed the drive on the SSD, and the SSD is the prioritized boot option. I reformatted the drive and the USB to NTFS. I also deleted the partitions on both drives. After trying some more troubleshooting I did a full pc reset and continue to have the same issue.
