I don't think the tool talors the install media to the PC that downloaded it, but I may be wrong.
Just for the heck of it, create new install media and try again. Stupid stuff happens sometimes :)
Before nuking the install, give this tool a try. Wipe out the existing gfx drivers and then Install the newest.

Messed around a bit before seeing your latest post. Main takeaways:
- The installation works just fine in another rig.
- Tried installing Windows on another drive -- the issue happened even during the install, which might be normal, except it took place during the extraction of the files to the drive where the % runs... the installation shouldn't be adjusting the graphics at that point.
- Tried another VGA display -- same issue.
- Tried a HDMI display -- no issues.
- Tried HDMI and VGA dual screen... the HDMI remains fully lit when the VGA blacks out.
I think you have a problem with the vga port itself on the board. Why it doesn't present itself in Linux, I dunno. I'd RMA the board at this point.
Pure speculation but if it's not the board, then it has to be the CPU.
