I'm putting together a new system, but I can't install the OS. My system is based on Ryzen 7 2700X, Gigabyte X470 motherboard, 16 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 on 2 sticks, and a MSI GeForce GTX1060 6 GB and SP SSD, both of which I salvaged from another system and are known good.
I can't install any OS. I tried both Windows 10 Home and Ubuntu 18.04. In both cases the OS installer hangs on loading. This is with barebones hardware, just MB, CPU, memory, video card, SSD, keyboard and mouse. I'm guessing this is a defective hardware issue, but which? CPU, RAM or motherboard? How do I solve this mystery?
