System issue please help

[Pedaars]

I have the below system I built a few years ago which was working fine until Friday when it would not post just kept restarting after 20 seconds or so with no error beeps.

I have so far reset the CMOS by bridging the pins and by removing the battery for 10 mins. Have also replaced the battery.

I have tried each ram stick separately 1 by 1 with no post.

Reseated all PSU cables, GPU, CPU, SSD and HDD.

I have got hold of a stick of Crucial CT4G4DFS824A 4 GB (DDR4, 2400 MT/s, PC4-19200, SR x8, DIMM, 288-Pin) Memory to test with.

With this ram module the system posts but crashes on the windows loading screen.
I have tried to boot a windows 10 USB I created with the windows media creation tool it gets to a purple/blue screen and crashes.
I have also tried to boot a windows 10 repair disc and again this just crashes.

Am I right to assume that the corsair ram has died ?
should I suspect any other components ?

I am at a loss as to what to try next anyone have any ideas ?

OK I have tried without SSD or HDD/DVD RW to boot to the USB with no joy.

I have just tried another PSU same issue none of my 4 sticks of ram will post in any slot but new stick will post. I am also still unable to boot the windows installer from DVD or USB.
I have however been able to hit the recovery screen after the pc reboots twice and from here boot into windows 10 in safe mode using either PSU.

I am given the error "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed" Error code 0xc000000f

This relates to the windows boot manager and to fix it I need to be able to boot the installation media

yeah does seem drive related I would try a new sata cable and sata port etc.

My boot drive is an M.2

I do have another Normal SSD I will try out

ok I have tried to boot the windows 10 installer on 3 different USB sticks they all work on my other systems but on this i hit a purple screen and just hang have also tried with 3 different HDD 1 SATA 3 mechanical, 840 evo SSD and the Samsung xp941 M.2 SSD.

I don't have another x99 motherboard or compatible CPU to try but I am guessing 1 of those to be the culprit >.<

Have you tried booting without the M2 drive installed?

Yes I have tried it with 3 different HDD one by one a 1tb mechanical, 840 evo SSD and the Samsung xp941 M.2 SSD I have the same issues with not being able to load the windows 10 installer
