Hi,
New build, trying to install windows 10 from USB, also tried from SSD, immediate BSOD before windows installer can get started and display anything. Usually CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED or SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED.
Also tried Fedora Linux, which did install but falls into safe mode due to the following errors (screen shot also attached)....
smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs...
x86: Booting SMP configuration:

I've swapped motherboard, ram, graphics card. CPU is the last remaining component not swapped. Is this really a CPU issue? I've poked around the BIOS and opened a ticket with ASRock, but nothing so far. Google searching did not help. Any hints would be welcome.
System config...
ASRock B550 Steel Legends Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
Geforce GTX 1660 Super
G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3600 (F4-3600C18D-32GTZN)
also tried CORSAIR - Vengeance LPX 32GB (2PK x 16GB) 3.2 GHz DDR4 (CMK32GX4M2B3200C16)
Thanks!
