    Default Unable to boot from any bootable medium

    Okay so I bought a lightweight setup consisting of:
    * Gigabyte H310M S2P 2.0
    *Corsair VS650
    *8GB Vulcan DDR4 RAM
    *240GB Kingston SSD
    *Intel i5-9500 LGA1151

    So the problem is that when I try to boot off a Windows 10 bootable USB it will start to boot and then freeze on the blue windows logo screen with no spinning dots. I have tried with multiple USBs, creating the disk with RUFUS and the windows media creation tool. I've tried using a Ubuntu boot USB, I've even tried installing windows 10 on the SSD with another computer, with still the same results. I've tried changing settings in BIOS like CSM. It's definitely starting to boot off the USB but just freezes as soon as it tries to do anything else. This is my first PC build so please go easy on me. Any help at all much appreciated

    Will those devices boot a known good computer? I'm suspicious of dud media.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Just thinking out loud

    I had problems trying to use a USB 3.0 port and had to use a USB 2 only port for a windoze install.
