Windows 10: Windows 10 USB Install Reboot Cycle

Hey All,


I recently yesterday completed the physical part of my new build. Everything was smooth until I tried to install Windows 10 off of a USB stick 16GB. This USB stick has been formatted and cleared of anything other than the Install Manager.


The issue is that the computer restarts randomly whenever I'm trying to get into the process of installing Windows onto the new computer. The furthest I've gotten is the "Install Now" screen but the PC normally restarts at the very first Windows Logo Screen. These restarts do not happen when I am in BIOS.


Here's what im working with:


Ryzen 5 3600 with cooler

ASUS B450F ROG Gaming

2 1x8 Crucial 2666

WD Black 250 GB M.2

Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD

EVGA 600W 80+ Gold PSU

Gigabyte Geforce 1660 Super 6GB


After testing on a separate system, Ive determined that all of these components work.

I have updated the MoBo to the latest BIOS.


Any idea what's going on here?

:)

 

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.
