Windows 10: Custom PC Crashes During Install

Hello,


I recently built my first PC, and it will be my first Windows computer as well (coming from an iMac). I bought a USB install of Windows 10 (full version), and I’ve gotten it to begin the install process, but once it gets past the language selection and the key and tries to initiate the first restart, it crashes and goes back to the screen where I can hit F1 to get to the BIOS screen. When I tried to install on my second SSD to see if the first was the issue, the same exact thing happened.


I have an ASUS B360M-A motherboard, an Intel Core i3-8300 CPU, 16GB of 2400Mhz RAM , a 450 watt Silverstone Nightjar PSU, and an 80* rated fanless CPU cooler. My computer is not connected to the internet yet, and I’ve just got a monitor (connected via HDMI), keyboard, & mouse set up to navigate the install.


In several Google searches I couldn’t find anything that might be causing the crashes. I’m rather at a loss, because I thought I was doing really well to get this far, and now I’m stuck not being able to use the computer I put together.


Thanks for any help you can offer.

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??

 

Gta 4 crashing constantly

Sup everyone, i seem to be having a very annoying problem. I purchased gta 4 recently and i installed it and it runs quite well, my system is listed in my specs. The problem with the game, is that about +/- 5 minutes of playing, the screen gets funny coloured squares and my whole pc crashes. I have xp sp3 installed. I have tried numerous things like clocking my cpu back to stock but to no avail. My pc is not overheating, thats for sure, i dunno. My mate just told me that it might just be a bug, but it seems strange that i bug in the game would cause my whole pc to crash. Any suggestions?
