Windows Failed to Install

Anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?

I installed a new NVME drive into my pc. And trying to install windows on it says windows failed to install. (I had wiped my previous c drive in the process)
I tried a few times and got the same issue so thought I’d try reinstalling onto my original c ssd. But got the same error.

I thought it was the usb I’m using to install from but have recreated that using the official Microsoft creation tool and also rufus.

Stuck for ideas now. Maybe remove the Nvme?

I didn’t wipe my existing c drive by accident. I wanted it all fresh and clean so wiped it myself while doing the install.

But I will try unplugging all other drives and see if that works.

Unplugged everything and installed a fresh new Nvme. Managed to install windows now so hopefully was that hdd causing issues.

Got bsod since reinstalling so decided to dig further and have found a stick of my ram is faulty. Memtest86 failed to complete due to number of errors. Taking the one stick out passes fine.
