PC fresh install - crashes/freezes - windows 10

What is the problem?:
The problem in short: after a freshly installing windows, the pc will suddenly start rebooting. After reboot you will get back to windows login. It is possible to login, however shortly after you login and for example you go to the windows updates it reboots again.
This is the currently loopy state the pc is in. (Freaking annoying)

Tried:
- Reimage, reinstall
- Chkdsk,
- Sfw,
- Windows reset,
- Windows start up repair,
- Hardware checks,
To be sure it is not a hardware issue, I have installed Ubuntu 18 on the same ssd as a dual boot. In ubuntu everything works fine.
Safe mode works fine as well. The reboots are from “windows rebooting after failure” when turning the feature off. The pc will just freeze and that’s it. After a clean install I used safe mode.
In safe mode I tried:
- Device manager. Seeing if there were errors. Nothing which would explain the freezes.
- Installing the nvidia drivers.

I stopped right here for now, (really really done with all this). Will continue later the day. However Hoped to get someone's opinion about this matter in the hope I missed something obivious.

First off all sorry for the missing information,(really tired) and don't get me wrong but I have been spending quite the time and effort on this matter. Which is getting me frustrated to the bone.
So thank you for the fast reply.

I didn't answer de version number, simply because it is the latest update (I don't know which version that is).

I am doing a clean install because it had a old hdd with windows 10 running. I don't know which version since I never look which version is installed to be honest here. The pc was quite slow and disk kept hitting 100%.

In the mean time I got a new ssd for my main pc. Placed to old ssd from my main pc in the pc in question.
Clean install from windows and first everything seemed to be working but after sometime the above state issues occured.

I hope this is the info you are looking for.

I install windows via bootable media, remove all partitions and install windows on a new partition.

In the post I describe that ubuntu is working fine same for safemode. So I presume things like RAM or a Disk failure are ruled out. I see that hardware checks are a bit vague indeed.
I have done:
- Ram check,
- In linux stress tests CPU and GPU
- Removed components and tried if there was a differend result.
- Did multiple scans with different tooling.

Only thing remaining in my opinion are drivers but not sure which or what.
I have only installed the newest nvidia driver the rest are simply windows default

Again thanks for the fast reply, I’m trying my best to answer all the questions.

I don't understand this build number, I'm afraid.
Build 1903 is 18362.xxx Build 1909 is 18363.xxx - so it looks as if yours is a 1903 build.
Build: 1909

Again: History: (often omitted by posters)
a. Was the PC previously running Win 10 without problems?
b. If so, which build was it running?
Roughly how old is your PC? Please provide a link to its drivers download page.
Is it self-built? If not, what is the model?

I hoped it was clear by telling:
“I am doing a clean install because it had an old HDD with windows 10 running. I don't know which version since I never look which version is installed to be honest here. The pc was quite slow and disk kept hitting 100%.”
It is one of my self-build pc’s, it is one build from my previous main pc. However it has run windows 10 multiple times with the current hardware except from the disk/now SSD. Only this time instead of a SSD, it was running with an old HDD for the time being. It didn’t ran smooth since the disk was always 100% usage.
The mainboard, CPU and ram are old, like 7 years. GPU 3 weeks, power and SSD no more than 1.5 year.

Like I sad before, I don’t use any drivers from the vendors website. I normally let windows install updates first, then see which drivers need updating. However if I take updates it is for mainboard and GPU.

I can only presume it was the same build running then however it is possible 1 build earlier(don’t know when the last update/change was.)
Like you already mentioned the windows 10 x64 is supported. And it is possible I have bought it in 2015 so 2014 seems the case.

The red X, you mentioned:
- Multiple times, Not proper shutdown
- 1 time, Desktop Window Manager – APPCRASH
- 1 time, Windows logon user interface host – stopped working

Crash dump runs fine in safemode,
However the tool states:
No valid crash dumps.

After typing al the above I tried to use the pc without the GPU.
And it seems almost certain it has something to do with the video driver.
I have removed the NVDIA driver installed, reinstalled the GPU. Booted again.
No issue.
Conclusion could me the every time I installed windows it installed the graphics driver which has this issue? I’m not sure yet…
Gone test with an older driver.
Will post as soon as possible with correct driver.

For now again thanks for your assistants and most of all patience.
