I have a OCUK custom system, spec below. It's worked faultlessly since I bought it three years ago, running Windows 7.

I want to install Windows 10 on a blank partition. I have made Win10 bootable flash drive. I boot into the installation process and almost immediately I get

WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR

I gather this is normally a hardware issue, but windows 7 is still working fine. I have not touched any BIOS settings.

Any idea?

I had an odd issue installing windows 10 on a certain machine, it would get so far, fail and roll back. I eventually tracked it down to the on-board LAN controller, disabling this in the BIOS, installing the OS then re-enabling and manually updating the driver got it working, but it had me pulling my hair out no end. You could try disabling all non-essential hardware via the BIOS, remove any extra hard drives etc, and see how it goes?
 
Installing an OS can highlight issues that aren't apparent in normal day-to-day use.

Make sure there isn't a problem with the memory.

If you've overclocked, try at stock settings.
