I assembled my system about a year ago and unexpectedly it shut down with a boot loop. Fans spin roughly for fifteen seconds before restarting. I've replaced the CPU placement, swapped the CMOS battery, reset the BIOS, but Windows remains unresponsive—Windows 10 Home, Gigabyte z390 gaming motherboard, Intel i5-9400f processor, GTX 1070 graphics, 16GB RAM (two 8GB units), thermal H-ONE power supply, and a fully modular NV1 M.2 drive.

Are there other RAM options available? The Thermaltake model isn't ideal, and issues like failures aren't rare according to online reports.

You're asking if someone can help resolve an issue with your system, specifically mentioning the same CPU and motherboard. You're also curious about whether a solution exists and how it might work.

If you don't have any overclocks to save just pull the BIOS battery out while the PC is unplugged and press the power button to get the power drained. Sometimes it will help and will retrain everything and work as it should. If that does not work. Resit your CPU and repaste it. Making sure there is not a ton of pressure but too enough pressure on the cooler. Typicallt till you need force for the screws to move if it requires screws. The AMD Latch coolers are pretty consistent so don't need to worry about those as long as it's latched properly. It could of somehow wiggled loose. I've seen weird stuff like that happen. If you manage to get into windows after that make sure it I'd stable and possibly update the BIOS while you're ahead. Wouldn't want anything to happen while it was updating. So make sure it's stable first. Also try the 1 RAM stick method if none of this works.
