I recently bought my first PC, and everything worked perfectly until I tried to install Windows from a USB stick. After changing the boot order, the system started up fine but then showed an error screen called BSOD. I tried reinstalling the OS, turning off fast boot settings, and even updating the BIOS. My computer is set with this list of parts: CPU 12600k, motherboard MSI Pro Z690-a, RAM Corsair at 5600MHz for 32GB, GPU 6700XT, PSU EVGA 750W, storage Crucial P3 Plus 1TB. I'm also looking to buy a new USB drive right now because my current one is an old bargain from Walmart. I've seen similar problems in other threads but not exactly like mine here. Thanks for any help you can give!

P3 Plus isn't good if you want an NVMe SSD because they are way too affordable, which means the quality can be shaky. These drives aren't always reliable or stable. It just doesn't mean it's YOUR problem though.

If you keep getting BSOD errors while setting up Windows, it is 100% a hardware problem. Make sure big parts like your CPU, memory, and even the NVMe drive work well with the motherboard. Look at the QVL lists on the support website.

I looked at this stuff and it works fine, but I need to say something else: it doesn't even go all the way to the normal blue screen before showing that loading wheel for a split second. It gets frozen right there when trying to load the new software.
