Hi guys

I just switched on my pc just for it to crash and restart on its own and it is stuck forever in that loop.

I decided to format and delete all my partitions on my ssd(OS drive) and HDD.

After going through a fresh install, i've had irql_not_less_or_equal or page fault in nonpaged area errors halfway through the win 10 loading screen.

At the inital win 10 welcome set up screen, it has hanged on me several times forcing me to force restart my pc.

I Suspected a faulty RAM so i decided to switch rams. The error went away but the crash and reboot loop happens still.

I as I did overclock my cpu and ram previously with no issues, i have also reset all these values to factory defaults.

The crash and reboot loop happens literally seconds after it boots to the desktop.

Can anyone here help me on this? I've tried almost 8 fresh installs with the same problem

In my latest attempt. I managed to go through the entire installation process. However when it reaches the choose settings page, when i try to select an option it just crashes and reboots and i see a black screen.

Its a 2 month old DIY with absolutely no problems until suddenly this yesterday night :( Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated!

Do disconnect your HDD when doing OS setup. Use one piece of ram if you suspect ram is faulty, swap if required.

You can try installing with the bare minimum of hardware - SSD only and no HDD, single stick of RAM, integrated graphics. I don't think it is bad hardware but could be either a loose connection or compatibility issue.
