Followed the Holiday's Buyer's Guide, nothing but BSod

[Shobles]

Hi, new forum member here, I was watching Linus' Holiday's Buyer's Guide, and decided to follow is 'Game on'  Build for the most part. I already had the GPU, CPU, and PSU, so I figured following his purchasing decisions for the rest should keep me from any compatability issues. 

 

Cpu: i7 9700k

 

Gpu: EVGA GTX 1080Ti

 

PSU: Seasonic Prime Titanium 1000w

 

Mobo: ASUS ROG Strix z390-e Gaming 

 

Ram: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2x16gb 3200Mhz

 

Heatsink: Noctua Nh-u14s

 

Ssd: WD Blue SATA SSD 1Tb

 

When I got everything set up, I could get into Bios fine, but anytime i tried to Boot from a Windows 10 Media Installation Tool, it would BSOD and restart upon stsrting to load. No codes on the BSOD, it doesn't even finish all the text before it restarts. Not sure If there's any way to use the BSOD event log tool on the system if I cant get it into Windows. 

 

Already took it to a shop and declared Mobo DOA, have since replaced Mobo and Ssd with new stock.  Really don't know what to do since they weren't sure what the issue was, and I was hoping to avoid any issues by following this guide. 

 

Any ideas to what is causing my problem??

Sorry I might be misunderstanding, but have you tried again with the new hardware?

Either your installation tool is bad or your ram is bad are my guesses

UGH, the fking Z390 strix mobo, its trash. (ASUS paid linus to put that in prob)

 

 

OP:, have you tried reseating your cpu/cpu cooler? have you applied paste? have you taken off the plastic?

I've tried an official win10 home disk in an external drive, and two different usbs.

Yes, I've reseated everything, tried without the gpu and just one stick of RAM, still got to bios fine, but Bsod when trying to boot from the Win10 tools.

Try and run memtest to check its health

I ran a memtest before bringing it to the shop, no errors found after full test (can't remember how many passes per test, i think 4?)
