I’ve just finished building my 7800X3D build but am having issues with it instantly restarting in windows. It restarts if I scan for new hardware in device manager, try to install Logitech GHUB, try to install LAN driver, try to open OCCT (not run any tests, just loading it up).

When I first installed windows 11 I couldn’t get the LAN adapter working so I had to get a USB one to get past the install screen. It seems like there’s some issue with the hardware somewhere. Any advice would be great, should I RMA the CPU or motherboard?
 
I wouldn't start rma'ing just yet, it is possible there are some major compatibility issues happening with the drivers/apps. For the record, is the board on a bios that officially recognises your CPU?
 
What have you tried so far? If It was me. I would go bare bones. 1 stick of ram, one ssd, mouse keyboard no other peripherals, disconnect case headers except power switch so only use mobo io usb. You have an igpu so remove your dgpu. Check your m2 ssd connection.

really look over your bios. Set memory timings and hz for low speeds. Maybe flash your bios just incase of corruption. Re install windows (is your install media ok?) is it still possible to install lan drivers when installing windows? I've not done it for a while?

The LAN driver doesn’t seem to be found at install, that’s when I needed the usb adapter. I’ve run memtest and no issues were found. I’ve disabled expo and running stock BIOS. Currently only have one mouse, keyboard and monitor plugged in, GPU is ok as I was using it in my last system.
 
This is pulled from asus support page for your mobo

"Intel I225 / I226 LAN Driver V1.1.4.38 For Windows 10 64-bit.
Intel I225 / I226 LAN Driver V2.1.3.3 For Windows 11 64-bit.
NDIS Driver V1.1.3.34

Version 2.1.3.3
7.44 MB 2023/03/21
The update includes Intel network driver 2.1.3.3 to mitigate i226 and i225 ethernet controller issues."
 
If I remember correctly I used to have the driver in root and in a folder on a usb. I think I used to have trouble with drivers in the root directory but in folders they could be seen. If they come in a compressed state put those there too, cover all bases.

I’m unable to install the LAN driver, after double clicking the asus setup it restarts my PC instantly. I’ve also just tested with one stick of RAM and still restarting. In my device manager the network adapter is the only component with the yellow triangle

Click to expand...

If you disable it in the BIOS can you get your system stable?
