Problem with Booting Windows 10

Hello everyone!

I'm Samuel, nice to meet you all :)

I'm a big Linus fan, so, after a long day of trials and swearing, I decided to write on this community looking for help!

I've got a new build. These are the specs:

Asus Strix Z390-e

Corsair RM850x

Intel Core i9 9900K

32Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4@2600Mhz

Corsair MP510 M.2 480Gb

Zotac RTX 2080 Amp! Extreme Core

I assembled everything and it worked well. I updated BIOS to 1005 (last version on Asus website) and worked ok. Today I received the last shipment which contained a Corsair H100i RGB Platinum SE and a Corsair Lighting Node with 4 ARGB strips. I removed the "old" cooler (a cheap one but worked well) and assembled all these new pieces.

Turned the PC on and went to BIOS to see if CPU temp was alright and it was indeed (28°C). So I restarted the system and went to windows but screen froze to black and also keyboard and mouse turned off (RGB Llights and status LEDs on keyboard (the Block Num one). I tried to restart again and again but nothing.... So I decided to format the SSD. Windows installation went ok. Windows started but after like 5 to 10 minutes, while I was downloading the drivers, here is the black screen again.

Safe mode works fine, if I boot with the RTX installed it freezes, even if I plug the display port plug in the motherboard. Now I've uninstalled the 2080 and the PC is just fine...

What could it be? Do you think it's related to the AIO I installed? Could it be a misconfiguration on BIOS? Have you ever experienced something like this?

Thank you for your attention :)
