Hey everyone, I just got a new PC and wanted to set up fresh Windows on my old SSD. I made a bootable USB using Creation Media Tools. However, whenever I try to install, it freezes at "preparing installation files" and after a while I get BSOD with the stop code. I also attempted to format another HDD and install there, but the same problem persists.

Helping is difficult without system details. This usually indicates a hardware or driver issue. Because you set up the media recently, we can skip drivers—Windows 1909 will have newer ones included—so my advice aligns with what’s available. Update your BIOS to the most recent version first.
