I attempted a clean install of windows by doing a system reset. Now I am unable to install windows. When I begin the install it randomly restarts or freezes. Sometimes a BSOD with error does appear, but most of the time it doesn't. I have replaced my motherboard (with same brand/type), and RAM but that did not solve the solution. I created a usb media from Microsoft website. Please help!!!
 
Solution
Try deleting all the partitions on the drive, not just picking the one you did. I would d/c the 2tb drive while you install as well as win 10 might try to put its boot files on it.

remove Ethernet and d/c Wifi, unplug any extra USB devices.
Do you have latest BIOS?
Tried another USB drive?
does motherboard have onboard igpu? try installing without gpu attached?
