BSOD Boot Loop

Ok so after both sticks failing Memtest with one of them failing in multiple slots i have ordered some new RAM. If it is not the RAM what is the next likely culprit.
 
Hi all. Both the new ram and ssd have made no difference. I cannot get this machine to enter any form of Windows whatsover. It recognises all peripherals in bios i have even downgraded bios to the oldest version. Reseated CPU. Moved ram from B slots to A slots. As soon as the Aorus splash screen starts to try and hand over to windows I get a BSOD with varying error messages.

Any clues as to what this could be?
 
I am going to try and find a local shop that has an 8 or 9 series CPU and ask if they would be willing to test it in my machine or vice versa to narrow it down. May even ask them to test mine on a different PSU although I highly doubt it's that as it gets into bios fine. If anybody in South East London is willing to help me out with something like the above it would be greatly appreciated.

Is the mobo still under warranty, did you try the new ssd, do you have an HD maybe sata to try?

Mobo and CPU are both under warranty and have contacted both to start the RMA. However I have gotten in contact with a local PC shop who will be able to put a different CPU into the board to test it before I even send the stuff back.
 
Just a thought and seeing as Memtest seems to report CPU: 0 issues. Have you removed the CPU and checked for any bent socket pins? Or it could be one or two not making great contact.

I did reseat the CPU but I did not check for bent pins. I have taken it to a local store who are going to test another CPU in it but have asked them to keep and eye out for this particular issue. I am fairly confident that the CPU was socketed correctly as i did not force it and for lack of a better phrase "let it find its own way for".
 
I found a similar forum post and it turned out to be the CPU.

If you can't boot the windows CD then it's not the fault of the OS as the bios takes care of primary boot operations.

How about updating the bios?

Did you try booting from a USB stick. Download this,

http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86/release/TinyCore-current.iso

and install it to a USB stick with Rufus. Then set to boot from the USB in the bios. Also make sure all unneeded peripherals are removed including the mouse, just have keyboard.

Its with the local shop at the moment I dropped it off an hour ago.. They are going to have a go at getting it up and running but if they fail I will have a go with that thing that you linked. Thanks.

Did you try increasing the memory voltage a step

No I haven't. If the local shop cannot get it going this will be the first thing I try when I get it back. What would you suggest increasing it by? I have never touched voltages for anything at Bios level so some handholding would be appreciated.
