G'day all,

The short is I can't install windows 10 onto my SSD because the installer constantly crashes at different points generally during the "installing features" phase.

The long is I built a PC October last year,
Components include: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI X570-A Pro Mobo, Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb 3200, MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Super, Corsair RM650 Gold, Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500gb.
At the time I could not install Windows 10 through multiple means and ended up cloning Windows from my laptop and running that on my SSD, Gross I know but it worked for the time being.
Up until a couple of weeks ago this had worked okay.

Fast forward to this month and I decided to reinstall Windows 10 1909. I ran into the exact same problems as I did before, BSOD loop on install.
I've used multiple USB drives even new ones. I've tried the Official windows media installation tool to create a bootable USB and the ISO method.
I've also tried downloading a legitimate ISO from a third party and running that.
I've updated my MOBO to the latest BIOS and booted using UEFI.
Up until today I thought it was an SSD error, this was proven wrong because I tried with a brand new SSD of the same make.
MEMTEST showed that the RAM is okay.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply,

Latest BIOS has been installed.
Windows 1909.

Can I make Samsung Magician bootable? and what would I be looking for with this tool considering I've tried two SSD's.

Tried installing again this morning, BSOD error was page fault in non paged area if that helps.
