Hey

I've been trying to install windows via iso via rufus, every time I try to install windows I get the error code 0xC0000005 (video of error below).

Things I've tried/taken into consideration:

SSD health check / (SSDs are brand new)

Ram seems to be working fine (multiple os's/intense gaming)

Updated Rufus / New windows / New windows 10 iso

New USB for iso

Video of error:

With Rufus, if you have UEFI, select the GPT partition scheme for UEFI computers.

A clean install is > during the install, keep hitting Delete, until Delete & Format are greyed out & you are left with Unallocated.
No other drives should be connected during the install.
