I've been working for the past four hours trying to resolve the issue with Windows 10 Pro not setting up properly. The installation runs, the computer restarts, and when the setup wizard launches it crashes. Initially, the setup didn't function at all, but after a reset everything progressed better. I reached the language screen and pressing enter caused another crash. Currently I'm checking if RAM might be the problem. P.S.: BIOS updated, CSM turned off, no errors or blue screens appear, but the computer still crashes and I have to start over. Sometimes it tries to boot setup, other times it fails completely. My machine has a Ryzen 7 5700X with 12GB RAM, 32GB storage, 3200MHz DDR4, a 250g Kioxia NVMe drive (old Intel laptop), ASRock Phantom Gaming 4 M-ATX, Wi-Fi 6, and I'm using Intel's 3200mhz DDR4 RAM.

Consider turning off SMT in the BIOS settings. Certain Windows 10 releases struggle with Ryzen's chiplet design. After installing Windows 10, apply updates and then re-enable SMT.

Thanks for the advice—it worked in some cases but not always. I’ll visit a store to have them check each part and identify the issue.
