Computer crashes/glitches & prevents Windows install! “Critical Process Died”

Just put together a new pc build. Hardware is as follows: Ryzen 1700, MSI Krait x370 motherboard, G.Skill Tridentz 16gb ddr4 3200, 3x Skynix 250 GB SSDs, Asus Strix GTX 1080 Ti, with a Thermaltake Smart 850w.

Flashed board to latest bios, began installing Win10, installed raid drivers in bios to recognize raid, but kept noticing stutters in bios. It would freeze periodically. Reset cmos, stopped stuttering, finally installed win10, but would shutdown on win10 intro. Keeps shutting down, saying “Critical Process Died”.

I’m at a loss, can’t figure it out. I’ve reset ssds, deleted raid, cleared cmos, reinstalled bios-as, same thing. I’m thinking it might be a bad mb. It seems like the bios is corrupt. Not really sure.

I had it up once (in windows) and tried to update chipset drivers ASAP but shut down before it could install.

Anyone ever have a similar problem? I usually buy asus boards. I’ve configured the bios settings for raidand made the necessary adjustments but still the same. I really don’t know what else to do. Thought it might just be a raid driver, but just don’t know.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

If you are getting crashes in BIOS then that is generally a hardware issue. I would try different RAM, only 1 stick of RAM, or a different graphics card if these are available. If it crashes like that in BIOS or during Windows installation I would consider RMA on the motherboard. You should not have to do tweaks to get it to work; it is supposed to work out of the box.
