So I have an ASUS ROG STRIX Z270-I GAMING with a 7700K and a 2070. I also have three 1TB SSDs installed but am only using one at this time. Whenever i update to try and get all the drivers and such working after it updates to 1809 it just bricks the PC. Its been doing this on all the SSDs inside the PC. I even had a M.2 in there but I took it out hoping that it would fix the problem. I get through the installation of windows from my windows 10 USB from launch, install the WiFi drivers to start updating. After the updates go through after about an hour it resets. Once I get back to the desktop it will stay open for less then five minutes. In the five minutes i will try to install the Nvidia driver for my 2070 and the screen just goes black. The black screen just stays no matter what. I shut it down and try to boot up once again and it goes into the windows boot recovery. Inside the recovery it says one of two things, to roll back which i have but the same problem occurs, or it just says that the C drive no longer exists and that I cannot roll back or try to repair anything, I cant even try to run in safe mode nothing is possible. I have tried to trouble shoot this about 10 times over a 24 hour period and cannot figure it out. I grabbed the latest BIOS and that still didn't help, swapped out the SSDs for other ones and installed it on all of them but nothing. I just don't know what else to do. This PC has been sitting around for about two years because its for VR and I never had a GPU in it until now. The PC ran fine and everything before I got the GPU, once I put it in and did an update it just bricks now. I don't know what to do. Should I remove the GPU or am I just screwed? If anyone can help or has some in site it would mean a lot. 

*UPDATE* When i take out the GPU the PC works just fine without the GPU. I just don't understand what is wrong with this PC. 

*UPDATE 2* So the card was DOA, it was an open box and the guy before hand had fried the VRM on the PCB. For some reason it was causing it to brick windows when it windows or myself would try to install the drivers.
