Sudden crashes and unable to install drivers

[DrHerbst]

Hey guys, I am currently building a new system and I bought all the components and assembled as directed in the manual.

Now I am experiencing crashes when I try to install any drivers whatsoever(MSI Afterburner for example). The only odd thing I could notice is that my windows isn't really showing up properly.
The information says: windows not activated. Even if that was the case could something like that cause my computer to crash? Btw. Windows arrived with a disk from which I installed it. Maybe the disk is an outdated version or corrupted? I am helpless here because I am not an experienced Pc builder.

My Specs for anyone who is interested:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 8x 3.70GHz
MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON AMD X370
16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX LP
8GB KFA2 GeForce RTX 2080 EX
Noctua NH-D15 SE
650 Watt be quiet! Straight Power 11

Did you do a fresh install of windows when you put the system together? Or was it already on the hard drive you are currently using? When building a new system or changing out the motherboard, a fresh install of windows is almost always necessary.

I freshly installed it from the disk I bought
