[SOLVED] Windows wont launch after hardware changes (fried hard drive or motherboard?)

[Maksemetz]

Windows not booting and freezing on dots
CPU:i5-8400
GPU:MSI GTX 1060
RAM: 24GB DDR4
Mother Board: Gigabyte B360 ds3h
I just recently changed my CPU and GPU to a i5-9600k and an MSI 2060. But after the change my windows wont boot. I can get my screen to post and be in the Bios but when I launch it loads for a few seconds then freezes.

I've tried reinstalling windows multiple times, no luck. I tried putting my old parts back in, no luck still freezes. I also already updated my bios to the newest version, 16c.

I've come to the conclusion that its either my hard drive or my mother board but I don't have spares of those to test on to figure it out.

Start by dropping your RAM to either the matched pair of 16GB or the single 8GB DIMM. Your 24GB RAM may not play well with your new CPU.
Also go into the BIOS and load defaults.
