PC fails to download Windows?
My brand new custom-built PC won’t install Windows at all! As soon as I power on the M.2 drive, I keep seeing BSODs every time without any exceptions. I’ve done everything possible and checked each component thoroughly. Still, Windows doesn’t download properly.
Details about my system:
Ryzen 7 5800X,
1050 Ti (placeholder),
3600mhz Gskill RAM,
Adata Legend 850 Lite,
Aorus X570 Elite.
Temperatures are normal, everything seems fine, but it still fails to boot Windows.
For some reason, I encounter errors like “Kernel_Security_Check_Failure” or “Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal.” What should I do? I’ve tried CMOS and almost anything else. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Note:
The motherboard is from a friend’s setup; it differs from my original. My old SSD was damaged, so the new one is fresh. The drive works on another PC, which suggests it’s functional.
checking the current BIOS version on the motherboard
updating the BIOS for the motherboard

guidance on installing Windows
Hello there! Are you moving your operating system from a previous setup? You'll need to reinstall the OS once you switch platforms or boards.
It's unusual I've never had an operating system installed on this board and drive. I'm attempting a fresh Windows installation. Thanks!
Do you know the distinction between downloading and installing something? They are not the same and should not be used the same way.
Regarding your issue:
Ensure AXMP/DOCP is turned off and the RAM runs at 2133mhz during installation.
Try using a single RAM module.
Boot from the Windows installation media USB (not via M.2 drive).
Prepare the target drive by cleaning it before installing Windows. Use DiskPart's clean method.
Windows 11 also needs TPM to be enabled.
You might have better success with Windows 10.
