Got an issue atm where my PC was getting loads of different BSOD's. I've narrowed down the problem to my motherboard or CPU. Currently I have no hard drives or graphics card plugged in, I've managed to run the windows memory diagnostic using Hiruns USB tool and I've reinstalled the BIOS. I've also tried a different PSU, and I think it's worth mentioning that I can't reinstall my OS. It seems to boot to a USB or disk just fine as long as it isn't a OS installation tool. I have a win 10 USB which causes my PC to crash if used (I've checked is not the USB that's the issue) and I've tried a win 7 disk which didn't work either. When using the disk it would load correctly but would always shut itself down after about a minute, regardless of what it was doing. I've noticed that the motherboard displays an error code before it resets itself when the win ten USB is used (02 - Ap initialisation before micro code loading). Any help would really be appreciated, specs are as follows:
