Windows 10: Build 10130 Install ASROCK x58 Corei7 MB Can't Boot From USB or DVD

I have been trying to install Win10 on this machine for the last couple days...

I boot from USB and DVD and get the same result...

I see the turquiose Window screen for a min or so and then it just reboots...

I know the USB and the DVD work because I have installed both of another machine...

I have swapped out memory and HDs on the ASRock with known good ones.. No change...

I am wondering if Win10 requires a certain BIOS setting or if there is a known incompatibility with the ASRock MBs..

Any hints/tips would be most appreciated...

:)

 

Can't install Windows 10 - Error code 0x80070570

It is a custom built PC, but the motherboard is an ASRocks x58. Is it possible to update the BIOS without booting into an OS?

 

Windows 10 build 10168/10240 incompatible with Intel G3258 processor

Dear Microsoft,

Please google "windows 10 G3258 problem". Google is picking up on this, why isn't Microsoft? Please pay some attention to this problem. It's isn't so hard to piece together what's happening

Refering to generic Microsoft articles isn't adressing the real problem. Somehow after build 10130 code was introduced that's seems to effect systems based on an Intel G3258 processor. From the different posts it seems the chipset (H81 or Z97) doesn't really
matter. The processor seems key.

Simply boot any G3258 based system (with all cores enabled) and windows 10 won't boot after build 10130 (10240, 10168 etc). Upgrades from any build (10130 or less) from to 10168/10240 will fail with 0xC1900101 - 0x20017 error


or a boot loop. Any attempt of a clean clean system install and/or boot from 10168/10240 installation media (DVD / USB) will result in a boot loop. Believe me I've tried everything and so have others with the same results.

The only confirmed "workarround" so far is disabling a processor core in the BIOS. Effectively turning the G3258 into a single core processor. Once you do that all other options suddenly work: upgrade via windows update, upgrade via DVD/USB, clean install
from DVD/USB. This workaround will allow you to update windows 10 to build TH1 10240 via any of the usual means. However once you are on 10240 and try to enable all processor cores again you are back at a boot loop.

Unless Microsoft wakes up and fixes this bug any G3258 system will not be able to upgrade to windows 10 as the majority of system owners won't even begin to grasp howto disable a core in the BIOS (if they even now what a BIOS is)

 

Additional Note.. I have updated the BIOS on the ASRock to the latest one. 2.90...

 

For anyone who has this problem..

SUCCESS!!!!!
There was an option in the CPU CONFIG of the ASRock BIOS
NO-EXECUTE MEMORY PROTECTION...
It was set to DISABLED so I ENABLED it and viola'! A good 10130 install!! *Biggrin
