Can not install 64-bit version of Windows 10 Home :(
Hello TenForums,
I am having a Windows installation problem on a new build.
Using the Media Creation Tool, I created a DVD and a bootable USB (both with Windows 10 Home 64-bit).
In both cases, I get a blue screen of death (BSOD) during the installation process. The BSOD happens after the black and white “Loading files...” screen, and just after the Windows 10 symbol appears.
The error message is usually “PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA”, but sometimes it is “MEMORY_MANAGEMENT”.
Some have pointed to faulty RAM as a possible cause. I did a memtest which did not find any problems. In addition, I installed Windows 10 Home 32-bit without any trouble and the system appears to be stable. Are the above good indications that my RAM is fine?
-------------------------------------------
The following are the new components in my build.
CPU - Intel Core i7-6700K (BX80662I76700K)
MB - MSI Z170A Krait Gaming (LGA 1151)
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 (F4-2400C15D-16GRR)
SSD - Samsung 850 Evo 2.5" 250GB SATA III (MZ-75E250B/AM)
And I am reusing one component.
PSU - Thermaltake 430W (XP550 NP)
There's no discrete graphics card...yet.

Questions
1) How can I use the DM Log Collector Tool in my case?
2) What do you think about the condition of my RAM?
3) Windows 10 Home 32-bit works fine, but not 64-bit. What do you think about this?
4) My 430W PSU is more than enough wattage according to “eXtreme Power Supply Calculator,” but it is an old part. Could my PSU be responsible for these BSOD errors? If so, why?
5) Am I missing something? Please help!
I would be happy to provide more information.
Thank you.
