Chipset Driver and hardware check

[Toquey]

I am curious if anyone knows what would result in an attempt to use the "check for new hardware" in Windows 10 Device Manager to cause a freeze/reboot of system? Would trying to use it prior to having the chipset driver installed cause this? Or should it work even prior? This persists through multiple clean Windows installs.

I am having trouble figuring out why my chipset driver won't install (system freezes and then reboots at any attempt to install a driver although other programs install fine). After a ridiculous amount of troubleshooting it seems to be either the motherboard or the cpu, but hoping for some solid "proof".

X570 Gigabyte Master, Ryzen 3700x, Evga 850w PS, Gskill Neo Ram, 5700xt Sapphire Nitro (have switched out hardware to eliminate all but cpu and mb as the cause as do not have spares to check either of those. Multiple clean Windows 10 installs done/different bios tried/cleared cmos, etc.)

That must be hugely frustrating what must be one of the more straight forward and quickest tasks to carry out.
Recently I had driver issues and a refresh of windows 10 sorted this as I didn't do this after I fitted a new mobo.
But you've done all I would suggest, ive never used "check for new hardware before, just update drivers through
there websights, sorry I cant be of more help

Thanks for your input!

I've never used it before either. I am just rather desperate at this point and trying everything I can to try and get the drivers in. It's just such an odd issue since I can't figure out why drivers won't go in when programs will.
