Both installers fail to install onto the usb. I am able to download an ISO for memtest, but I am still unable boot off of the drive.

I will buy a smaller drive later today to install the seatools bootable later today. It will probably have to wait until around 8pm est though.

I got a new 32gb thumb drive and was able to successfully install and run seatools on it.
Surprisingly, the PC continued to crash while in the seatools bootable linux, So I ended up pulling the SSD out and sticking it in my laptop to test it and it passed.

The Pc continued to crash without the SSD in it aswell.

I also did test the 64gb thumb drive and it seems fine.

Marked as solved because it turned out to be a faulty wire to power the GPU that was causing the issue.
