Thanks I am only installing the OS and the drivers for the MB.
So there is no AV S\W to disable.
I can not access Chromes menu because it crashes before then.
Rebooting will sometimes start the PC but very soon I get either a BSOD and\or " DPC Watchdog Violation"Akshay_Mane- Akshay_ManeJun 25, 2019Iron ContributorDid you tried booting in Safe mode? and accessing your Chrome in a Safe mode? Let me know what happens. 1903 is the update with bugs by Microsoft and they are working on it.

Yes still does not work and the failed install makes the whole system unstable and just turn off,BSOD or lock up after an indefinite time.
The only way I can get the system to run is not installing Chrome at all after a clean OS installation.
I have had it running for 16 hours non stop without re-booting or any other errors.EDIT Thank you for your reply. Can not run Chrome in safe mode either.
