Crash at "Getting Devices Ready 25%" -- Need your help troubleshooting

I've built the following PC and need your help figuring out why Windows 10 won't load.

Motherboard: Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case
Storage: Samsung 850 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive & a
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

While loading the OS, I get to "Getting Devices Ready XX%" where the XX% would be either 16, 25 or 41. I've been through several configurations to prove out hardware. I thought I had the smoking gun when I found that I could connect an old HDD with Ubuntu loaded and operate that just fine. I sent the disc back to Amazon and received the new one today, loaded it up and it froze at the same "Getting Devices Ready" screen.

Intermittently, the "Getting Devices Ready" screen will last for only a couple seconds and then I get a blue
screen of death with one of two error messages: WHEA_Uncorrectable_Error or clock_watchdog_timeout. Google has nothing positive to say about these errors.
I'm not overclocking.
My fans and other hardware seem to operating appropriately - nothing seems to be working overtime.
I've tried disconnecting ALL peripherals except for the monitor.
I'm not online.
This is a new install, not an upgrade.
I've reseated the memory.
I have tried disconnecting the optical drive when the automatic restart occurs prior to "getting devices ready".

I also tried to load the OS on a different drive to no avail.

Again, I am running Ubuntu on this machine. This was an old drive to begin with and the root psswd is long been slept out of my head. I'll load Ubuntu again and attempt to install mobo drivers, but this seems like the wrong path.

 

Have you tried to update the display driver, or flash the bios?
It's a message for something corrupted or incompatibility.

 

I'll try flashing the bios. I have no idea how to load a display driver during Windows Installation. There's a "load drivers" option from the installation screen when I select which drive to load windows on, but even if I knew how to point it to the right drive I wouldn't know which driver I needed.

 

I have read, by updating the Bios, a lot have resolved this issue.
If you pulled the DVD or whatever when it hangs, it should revert to the previous OS.
I would update the BIOS if there is an update available, and start again.
My guess the old Bios drivers may not be accepting the change

Where did you get your copy of Windows 10?

Side Note:
I once had a similar issue, but can't remember the exact circumstances.
I remember updating the BIOS and it fixed the problem I was having back then,with it not completing.
Not sure whether it was a clean install or an upgrade.

 

I notice that you're using a Pci-express wireless card, try taking that out and see if Windows can finish the install.
