    [Clean Windows 10 Install] Brand new PC setup freezes during Windows 10 installation attempts


    Parts list:


    Motherboard - Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI

    CPU - Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6 GHz

    RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200

    SSD - Intel 660p Series 512 GB M.2-2280



    Problem Description:


    After putting together my PC consisting of all new parts, purchased over time and past their return dates now, I'm attempting to install Windows 10 via USB so I can start using the PC. When attempting this and selecting the UEFI USB drive to boot from I land at the Windows logo splash. There's a small delay and then the spinning 'loading' dots appear. They make about two revolutions and then stop, freezing indefinitely.


    Attempted Solutions:

    I've seen several forum posts exhibiting the same or very similar problems to mine. As such I've tried what I've seen, but haven't reached a working solution yet.

    • Simplified setup. Removed GPU from equation (GTX 1070Ti). Removed HDD from equation (Seagate Constellation ES 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM).
    • Adjusted RAM setup. Tried A1/B1 and A2/B2 channels. Tried each individual stick by itself in all four channels. Tried default settings, XMP, and manual timings to match these specific sticks but with a slower clock than XMP. Of note when trying to use XMP and faster clock speeds with manual timings the system failed before getting to BIOS and rebooted on its own with default memory settings.
    • Hardware CMOS Reset (multiple times)
    • Reload default BIOS settings (multiple times)
    • Tested multiple USB drives.
    • Tested with Media Creation Tool and Rufus. Tested with default Media Creation Tool output and creating bootable USB from ISO. Tested with Quick Format enabled and disabled.
    • Tested multiple USB ports (3.1, 3.0, 2.0)
    • Removed and placed CPU in socket again, applied new thermal paste for heatsink/cooler. This was tested because when the loading dots freeze the CPU fan speed increases.
    • Unplugged and replugged fans, main USB, power cables, etc for sanity check.
    • Ensured AHCI SATA controller was being used.
    • Ensured CSM was enabled / Secure Boot was disabled.
    • Ensured Fast Boot was disabled.

    The freeze happens before any options to interact with the Windows 10 install process occur. I can access BIOS and make changes there just fine, but this will always freeze when attempting to boot from USB and install Windows. Happy to hear any and all suggestions. At this point I'm hoping there's a way to get my setup working and that there isn't a hardware failure, as I've past the return dates.

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

    Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.
