Windows 10 Install Freezing

[johara007]

So, I have built a couple PC's before but can't figure this one out. I am doing a new build and cannot get windows to stop freezing after the "where do you want to install windows?" screen. So far I have tried:

Installing on an m.2, regular ssd, and hdd (was able to install windows to these drives on a different pc)

Creating the media on both usb and dvd from separate computers

Two different brands of z390 mobos

Reseated CPU several times (no bent pins on either board)

Updated bios on both boards

Two different power supplies (tested on each mobo)

One stick of RAM

With and without external GPU

 

So all I can come up with is a bad CPU, but I have no other CPU to test with. Any other ideas before I go through the hassle of returning it?

Yes, installed the most recent and previous versions.

Just realized I posted in the wrong section. Didn't see the troubleshooting forum. Sorry everyone

The cursor completely freezes

Longest I let it go was about 30 minutes. Should I leave it there longer? The install took maybe 10 minutes on a much slower computer when I was testing all my drives to make sure they weren't the problem

Before I ran the Ubuntu installer I did the little "check disk" and came back with this. It's trying to install

Pretty sure this installer is freezing too

Yeah it has to be the CPU. Borrowed some other DDR4 and another mobo and it did the same thing. Thank you for your suggestions though, I appreciate it.
