Question Problems after installing new hardware

[Cfeduska]

Hi all. I recently upgraded a few components of my PC. Since then I had frequent BSODs with various error messages (I can’t remember them all now) so I attempted to do a fresh reset and now I can’t install windows. When I try it says “the computer restarted unexpectedly...” starting to get worried that I’m SOL. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Newly installed hardware

• ASRock B450M PRO4 AM4
• G.SKILL Aegis 16GB (2 x 8GB)
• AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler

How are you attempting to install windows, are you trying to load into your current OS and load installation media or are you setting your boot options to go straight to the install media?

I just went through the windows 10 reset option. So as of now when I turn my computer on it goes straight to installation and almost immediately runs into that error

Do a clean setup of Windows. Boot off the setup media, run a clean setup. Good idea to delete existing partitions and just restore your files/settings from backups.
