  1. Can't install from USB drive


    I wouldn't worry about the BIOS. The Neo BIOS version for your board was version 5 so you have the latest. Installing a BIOS from another board is really not recommended.

    Here is how I think this has to play out.

    There appears to be an incompatibility between the absolute latest version of Windows 10 and that board. So I would try creating an ISO or USB key for V1607. maybe you were on V1703 but I'd go back to V1607 and start there.

    This is a link to a thread, from there it links you to another thread. I gave you the original starting point so you can read context.

    Need safe 1511 ISO

    So try installing V1607.

    Now this plan may not have a happy ending. If you can get 1607 or 1703 to run but not 1709 you may be better off staying on Windows 7 as support does not end until January 2020.

    Hope this helps.

    I tried 1607 and it didin't work. So I installed win 7 and it worked *Smile
    At least now I can use the PC. Is there a way to upgrade to 10 now, or should I leave it in 7?

  3. Since you now have expertise in getting 7 back on you could try try running setup from a USB thumb drive.

    I think the odds are it will not work but you can try.

    Now I'm guessing but... your video card is likely very old and as your screen goes black in the boot I wonder if Windows is just not finding a suitable driver. Take note of the driver you are using in Windows and if you should try a clean install again load that driver as part of the custom install.

    This will continue to be an issue, next major Feature update it will be reset and you will be in this same spot.

    Myself I would leave it alone. Win 7 is supported until January 2020.

    Good luck.

    Ok, I think it will just leave it in 7 for now.
    Thanks to all for your help. *Wink

    I would make an image of the working Windows 7 and try the upgrade to Windows 10. If it fails, restore the Windows 7 image and you've lost nothing but a little time.
