Windows 10 Won't Install, PC keeps Restarting, Help.

I just built a brand new pc and i'm trying to install windows 10 from Microsoft's Windows 10 Home USB to no avail. I must preface this by acknowledging that I am a PC building noob and so i'm going off instructions on the internet.

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 | GPU: Radeon RX500 XT | MOBO: B450 Tomahawk Max | SSD: Western Digital 500GB M.2 Nvme

Trying to install windows 10 as mentioned already and I am able to get to the boot menu, select "UEFI: KDI-MSFTWINDOWS 10 PMAP, Partition 1", and the page asking if I would like to install the 64bit or 32bit Windows setup. Upon selecting 64bit it begins to install, once the install bar is full, it displays the windows logo plus the spinning dots, my PC restarts and it brings me right back to the 64bit vs 32bit selection. Over and over and over

I have tried:

Boot Options Available to me

After doing all these things the problem still persists, it restarts the PC after "installing" and then brings me back to the 64bit vs 32bit page.

I'm hoping it's as simple as adjusting one of the settings in the Bios, otherwise i'll be cheesed that I went out of my way to buy the Windows 10 USB through official channels and it still put me through such a hassle.

EDIT: Solved, I guess if you're ever in this situation and you feel like you've tried everything, check if one of your RAM cards is faulty by attempting to install windows with each one.

I tried one RAM card and I finally was able to get to the page where you enter the product key.

Then I tried the other RAM card and all the issues I described above happened.

End result, I was able to install windows 10 but i'll need to purchase a new second RAM card.
