I have EVGA Z390 FTW, EVGA 1650 Super, Corsair HX1000i, Western Digital 1TB SSD. The hard drive is the only drive attached to my motherboard. When I power I see the FTW screen I am able to get into my bios the memory and the CPU are all there " Intel Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I99900K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630" I can run the stress test, the memory amount is correct 64GIG I can make changes to my boot drive and I have, when I save and exit nothing happens..something happens I see the FTW screen again and nothing else. It has been a while since I built a PC. I have set the boot drive to the USB stick, I got desperate and installed my old DVD ROM drive, I even installed a mechanical hard drive that I was planning to use as my game drive. Nothing works I can't get past that FTW screen. I must be missing something My last build was an X58 and then a forgetable ASUS something dark water cooling rig that died after 3 years.

here is another thing to look at when your pc is booting up press f7 or f8 that temporally changes your boot drive you can direct your boot drive to the flash drive. also did create the flash drive at the windows site for windows 10? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10  download the windows media creation tool make your flash drive with this. I hope I was able to help
 

ok anytime

SATA, I thought the M.2 was for fast booting.

SATA 2.5 inch 1TB SSD ... got it

I would update the mobo BIOS if needed to Version 1.10 which is the latest as of now.

You can do that in a number of ways, but I would suggest following the method under "Flashing the BIOS Without a CPU" on page 136 of your mobo manual..Use a USB flash drive in the USB 2.0 to SPI header.

If you can't see your Western Digital drive in the BIOS, you may need to go into the BOOT Section and select it in the BBS Priorities in order for it to be shown as a boot device option, then set it to Boot Option #1.

Tried it again this time and maybe all previous times I got a Checksum error, I think I got the error before, a window with the checksum error then an option to choose yes or no. This is a brand new board it has been sitting in my closet for over a year in the back and not on a carpet.  A nice and cool area in the EVGA vox and in the special plastic.

Checksum error can be normal when you change hardware .. especially RAM
 
If you have previously saved the BIOS & you still get checksum error ... likely the CMOS battery should be replace

Got everything to work. I only had to flash my bios turn off pc then insert USB stick then install Windows 10. I would like to thank everyone who helped.

Same thing happened to me once, bios update is usually a good idea for a new mobo
