The setupmem.dmp references the volsnap.sys (Volume Shadow Copy driver) but not a third party driver :

BugCheck 1D5, {6900630070, ffff9f06c6092ab0, ffffd209730df040, 2bf32}

Implicit thread is now ffffd209`730df040

Probably caused by : volsnap.sys ( volsnap!VspSynchronousIo+14b )

The error may indicate an issue with a file system driver possibly third party.

Can you check if the following folders exist (to see the folders you may have to "show hidden files and folders"):

C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther

C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Rollback

If those folders exist can you zip them up and provide via OneDrive.

I would go with the WHQL.zip as the motherboard appears to have a "JMicron® JMB363 PATA and SATA controller".

    Unplugging all of my external USB hard drives and then restarting the install solved the problem for me. After the successful install, I reconnected the USB hard drives and they still work fine.

    I been seeing the same error screen, and I recently bought a rx580 graphics card with VR headset. I suspect it could be caused from malicious hardware.

    My problem was not an external drive, exactly. I am going through this to salvage a system with a failed internal SATA HDD using a new internal SSD. I had to disconnect the failed drive, even though the BIOS of my Dell XPS 8500 (2012 CE) didn't enumerate the failed drive. 

    This post gave me the clue to unplug the failed HDD, and then installing Windows went without a hitch. 

    Thanks, @martya2
