Hi,
I recently built a gaming PC, and at first it wouldn't post so nothing came up on the screen. But for some reason the next morning it did. When I tried to install Windows 10 from USB, it kept freezing which could only be solved by a hard reboot. I then updated the BIOS and that seemed to work as it installed first time. After it loaded into Windows, I tried to download Steam, and half way through installing I got a BSOD. Every time I try and do anything eventually Windows will freeze, with a hard reboot being the only option to get back to Windows. Sometimes I get a BSOD, but the error message changes and sometimes there isn't an error message at all.
I have run Windows Memory Diagnostic twice and it came up with no problems both times, and my temps are not high at all, about 30-40°C (86-104°F). I updated Windows 10 to what I assume is the latest version and Windows Update also updated my drivers for my GPU. I re-installed Windows 10 multiple times as well and all of the installs had the same problem with the freezing. I tried to run Ubuntu off a USB and that worked fine for ages as I had it sitting on hardware monitor. Then I tried to install a program and it froze. It then came back about 15 seconds later and did this a couple of times. Eventually it just froze and then I hard rebooted into Windows after 15 mins of waiting. After I formatted my Hard Drive, the storage devices seem to work when copying files between them.
In hardware manager there are error symbols next to the H115i as well as two unknown devices. Windows can't find drivers for the H115i online when I searched. One of the unknown devices is part of Intel Smart Connect Technology which Windows can't find drivers for, but I don't think I need anyway. When i tried to update the drivers of the second unknown device through the internet, it said that it couldn't find any drivers for it, but Windows told me that it was my GTX 1080. Maybe that's the problem, I'm not sure??? When I looked at device manager a few days ago on a different fresh install, I don't think i had those unknown devices but i'm not 100% sure.
System Specs (All Brand New):
Processor: I7-6800k
CPU Cooler: Corsair H115i
Motherboard: MSI X99A SLI PLUS
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (1x16GB) DDR4-3200
SSD: Samsung 950 PRO 512GB
Hard Drive: Seagate 2TB Desktop SSHD
Graphics Card: Zotac Geforce GTX 1080 AMP! Edition
Case: Inwin 805
Monitor: Acer XB271HK
I don't have any anti-virus software other than Windows Defender but I doubt there is any viruses as Windows has just been freshly installed.
I've tried a few things and I don't know what to do next. I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions for fixes.
Thanks
