Windows 10 not booting properly

I need to describe the whole problem. I started to have problems with my PC not turning off, instead it restarted, so I had to disable Fast Start to prevent this problem. After some days I started to have problems with some particular CPU and GPU loads restarting my PC. For example using de CPU-Z stress test caused an instant restart, but using  prime95 not. Playing Cities Skylines (CPU intensive) also caused a restart, but a game like League of Legends played fine. Playing videos in youtube caused a restar just when the GPU fan starts (I have an indicator in my Gigabyte card for the fan), but other GPU usage never caused a restart, just youtube videos. At this point everything was already weird.

After some time I started having problems with booting Windows 10, loading and restaring in the BIOS screen before the login screen. Sometimes I could login, but other I had to wait until it could boot. Tried to format my SSD, but the USB had problems booting to run the Windows install.

After so many problems I tried plugin my Laptop drive in my PC to boot, but I had the same problem. I tried my SSD in my laptop and booted fine. It looks like the problem could be the Motherboard/CPU/BIOS.

 

My PC:
AMD FX8350

Kingston HyperX 32GB DDR3 1866MHz

Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P

Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6GB

SSD PNY CS900 480GB

PS Thermaltake SMART 550W 80+ Bronze

Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit

I was able to boot a USB and I did a clean install of Windows with the latest version. After finishing I had the same problems of the PC not shutting down and rebooting with the fast startup enabled.

Later I got an old Windows 10 build and I did another clean Install, this time the problem was solved. I think that in some point of the build 1903, my system is incompatible with some features/updates and is causing this problem. I would be trying the Preview builds hoping to get rid of the problem and install again when it is released.
