Cpu or motherboard?

(TL:DR tried to fix crashing issues, got to the point where even attempting to reinstall windows results in corruption )

 

So this issue started when I just built my computer and installed windows on it. I have noticed programs have been crashing and glitching randomly. I also had trouble the GPU driver with corruption issues and many programs that I have installed were corrupted and made me try to install it multiple times. 

I then started attempting to diagnose it by running sfc /scannow in cmd. It ended up in an error (Windows Resource Protection could not do the operation) So I then went into safemode and did it and it worked,but it did not change anything as issues were still persisting. So I went into safemode again. put dism /check-image /online /restorehealth into cmd and then set chkdsk to run on next reboot. DISM worked but was complaining about not being able to restore some files. After a reboot ,chkdsk then got stuck at 10%. I waited a couple hours before giving up on it and then I decided to re-install windows, This is where it really went downhill.

I got the installation usb and ran through the installation process,but I couldn't due to it not deleting the previous installment of windows for some reason. I then tried to re-install windows using another installment usb,did not work, Booting to the installer USB showed up a blue screen and said some crucial file was corrupted. Booting to the previous installment of windows also pulled up an error about corruption. After many attempts of using different USB installers,downloading new media creation tools. and even a couple spare DVD-Rs that I have with the same exact result on the installers:some crucial file being corrupted. I then got Universal Boot disk, went into parted magic and overwritten the first mb of the HDD with zeros. Same result attempting to install windows again except the HDD is no longer detected in bios as a boot drive.

 

 

 

is this the cpu or motherboard doing this? Ruled out the hdd by unplugging it and attempting to run the installer USB

I suspect the storage drive to be broken, not the CPU nor motherboard.

I cannot even get into the windows installer anymore without it having a bluescreen about corrupted files. Even with the hdd unplugged 

Try with different ports on the motherboard to rule it out.
