Getting BSOD while installing windows...

So, my pc has been getting BSODs the past few weeks, more and more frequently as time went on. Eventually it happened so much that I tried to repair the windows installation (windows 10 pro) but it would also bluescreen during that. Eventually I got tired of trying this method, that I tried to just completely format the C drive from within the windows installation media and as far as I could tell, this worked, so I began installing it again onto the primary partition, and it seemed to go well, until it bluescreened again mid install. I then tried to install it onto one of my other SSDs, with nothing yet installed on that, and it bluescreened again. I'm not sure what to do at this point, short of buying a new drive to install windows to. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like a hardware issue of some kind.   

Do you have another PC available?  Can you create a bootable USB with Linux on it to see if that boots up?  

Maybe test the RAM with Memtest86 from a bootable USB?

Remove all unnecessary components and see if it will install?
