I'm facing issues during the Windows installation process due to spinning circles and blue screens with errors like "whea uncorrectable error 0xc000021a" and "machine check exception." While I can adjust BIOS settings as needed, I’m stuck beyond that. I’m unsure if the problem lies with my CPU or motherboard. I've tested various RAM sticks, even new ones, and tried different slots. Some SSDs work with Windows already installed, but CMOS was reset using an SSD.

Running a diagnostic similar to memtest86 to check system health. Results will be shared here for any needed fixes.

I'm stuck at the BIOS again. I feel completely stuck after that.

Memtest can be converted into a bootable file and started via BIOS settings
