the MS ISO stick builder does the safe way, it does MD5 checks, that rufus does not do.
using rufus with bad ISO is really not a fun trip ever.
did you down load the ISO, the print out the MD5 for it at MS?
then run MD5 locally in the ISO to prove it is nOT corrupted? if you must use rufus (why?) then this MD5 way is the ONLY way to do it.
then when you did used rufus, did you check the box , verify, at end,, no , oops......
there are 2 verifies,
MS to you and MD5 then your ISO good to USB MEDIA or DVD.
if you skep those steps it fails that is why I told you to let MS burn you USB stick directly.
for good reasons, and is why it exists.
and turn off , FASTBOOT until the PC runs perfectly again,
if you had bad memory and the PC saved that to the fastboot image(it would), the PC will keep crashing , forever, even after fixing the bad memory. (1 example of whY) turn it off now.
Fastboot is really IMAGE BOOT, and bypasses cold boot. turn it off.
Thanks for the feedback fireberd. I forgot to mention the reason for me wanting to do this is because I can no longer boot into Windows 10 so some of those links may not apply to me at the moment.
When I first noticed this I came in one morning and it was stuck in the middle of Automatic Repair. Through research I attempted to turn off the Intel CPU boost and it loaded back into Windows. I left it disabled during this time, then however, after a few days it would started to randomly reboot on me in the middle of work. Now I'm stuck again where it won't boot into Windows or a USB drive.
However, just now I again disabled the Intel CPU boost and it ran through Automatic Repair again. Then a blue screen appeared with the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. I let that go through and loop through a few times and it eventually just came to the screen to allow me to reset the PC or Advanced Options. I selected the Advanced Options to install Windows from the USB drive. It came up with the installation menu to start the install, but a few seconds into it, it came up with the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR again. So I'm thinking this might actually be a hardware issue even though the BIOS tested all hardware and those tests had past...?!?
I was able to get the Windows installer to start the process but soon after getting files ready it found an unexpected error. I contacted Dell support and went through a few things with them but no avail. They are having me return the PC for repair. I wanted to thank you both for attempting to help me out. Thanks!

make sure the HDD tests pass the long test,
or run any top made HDD SMART test,, first. (like, crystaldiskinfo, or others) with yellow or red errors it is bad.
repairing windows will be impossible with any kind of HDD failure,(means even weak drive, or out of spare sectors)
ok.?
then install or recover windows, using windows recovery methods. fully published at dell.com
the safe boot, disabled allows USB to boot.
secure boot locks the OS to mobo and video card, secure.
also turning off , FASTBOOT (ANY OF THE WAYS) WILL FORCE WINDOWS 10 TO DO SAFEMODE
SAFE MODE NOW MEANS BOOTING COLD, (not the corrupted, img file,) boots fresh and cold.
do not use rufus, use the MICROSOFT ISO USB builder only.
the MS builder makes sure the files are not corrupted, and makes a perfect usb install stick
if your data is backed up
and smart tests all pass (repeat that 3 times for effect)
then use the MS install method and not using RUFUS for that.ok? MS told you what to do, so due that exactly.
this also gains the newest build, making updates vastly faster (or near none)
that is my opinion.... what dell has for recovery Ive no idea, nor want to learn, I run 100% only MS code, installs.
less is more. bloat not.
