constant freezes with asrock z170 extreme7+

   So rest of the build first,
i7 6700k
32gb (2 16gb sticks) of crucial ballistix 2400mhz
samsung evo 850 + 1tb wd blue hdd
the aforementioned asrock z170 extreme7+
evga 650w p2 psu
gtx980ti.
dvd rw

Trying to setup and install windows 10 on this, I was trying this with cpu, psu, cooler, single stick of ram, optical drive. Ram was in A1, optical and ssd were in sata 1 & 3. Booted up the computer, it'd get past the "f2 or del blah blah" screen and show the windows icon then shortly afterwards it would freeze. Keyboard would stop responding (num-lock would no longer change LED status). There was no dr debug message, so it was post POST i believe? Killed the power, unplugged psu->wall connection, let it sit for a min, re-plugged let it try again. Same issue.

I also tried a different windows cd, A different optical drive (usb), both sticks of ram (both as a pair, and both individually), the HDD instead of the SSD, and different ram slots. Thru the various attempts, the progress was mostly the same (sometimes a loading icon appeared under the windows logo and promptly froze). This freezing also occurred once I entered the uefi config (this freezes with a dr debug code of Ab, i think its a b anyways), under simple and advanced options.

Short and sweet, what should i do from here?
