Windows 10 or System issues due to a machine check exception error

[PaulGC]

Hi , I have just built my first PC and having trouble getting windows to install, i initially thought it was a software issue but now im leaning towards hardware. any assistance would be appreciated.

System specs - https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/gvdXWX

I have been installing windows from a usb and have been able to get windows installed once or twice but it blue screened soon after and now an install will result in a "something went wrong windows needs to restart" or the same with a "machine check exception error"
The system will also blue screen when booting from the install usb at times so i tried installing from a external DVD drive - same result.

Have tried installing with the GPU installed & without, later install attempts have been without.

I have also installed Windows on the SSD via a laptop then booted my system from the ssd - Same errors & issues.

Have run memtest86 with no issues

I know from experience with an older MB that if i had no ram installed it would beep an error code. Do the newer gen MB's still do this ? if i power on with no ram i dont get any beeps.

I am so over it and ready to throw in down my stairs, not sure what to do next??

Thanks in Advance

Unplug the 2TB if youre installing on the ssd. Connect it after. What version of win10 is it?

Update the BIOS to 1.40 before you try again

Should have mentioned , have tried with 2TB drive removed & also tried installing on 2TB drive with SSD removed. tried installing from case mounted USB port & MB USB port.
Have updated Bios using web update
Have reseated CPU & CPU Cooler

I don't know if you've found a solution for this or not, but I've been experiencing the exact same thing. If I cold boot my PC, it posts. If I'm in Windows 10, install any kind of update, driver, etc which asks to reboot the machine, this is when I get this error. If I turn the power off with the PSU, let it sit for 10+ minutes, then power it on, the PC will post. This is a new build, and it's been happening ever since I finished it. I've never had this problem before I upgraded my PC, I've never had this problem on my laptop, which is running the same version of Windows 10 Insider's Build (I've reinstalled Windows 10 at least 30 times because if I get this error 2 or 3 times in a row, the boot drive gets messed up and reinstalling Windows 10 is the only solution). I've tried installing Windows 10 Pro and opted out of Insider Builds, but the error still exists. Having had this issue since November, I've dug around quite a bit for a solution, and I think it might be a hardware/software conflict with the Asus motherboard's USB ports and Windows 10. Are you using an Asus motherboard?

Hi mate.
No solution as yet , i was using an asrock MB but have switched to Asus & still have the same issues, though i was able to install windows 10 pro after switching to the Asus MB but still getting ongoing Blue Screen & Machine check error.
So i think thats rulled out the motherboard i have also ruled ram out too by testing with different ram. Still seems to be pointing to a driver issue rather than hardware unless its the processor. Dropping the pc off today for someone to test a different processor so will report back once i have an answer on that.
Once the processor is rulled out i only have the SSD to try & maybe a newer monitor & keyboard as im current using a 7year old monitor unitl i have enough coin to upgrade.
