I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 10 from a USB flash drive onto a brand new SSD. However I keep getting various BSODs during the installation process that stops it from completing and I can't work out what is at fault,

During startup and installation I'm mostly getting IRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL and a few CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED BSODs but I've also encountered a few PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED AREA. I've tried a bit of basic troubleshooting with little success but I'm guessing that a part may need replacing as some components are probably at the end of their lifespan but from searching the BSODs I've struggled to determine what the common cause might be.
