Windows 10: Formatting pre built pc

Ok so i really hope somebody can help me with this. I bought a pre built pc a few days ago. This is a "demo" pc which pretty much meant the pc was returned/repaired and not picked up again so they sold it very cheap. Now the first thing i did when i got it was check for issues, used windows diagnostics to check my ram and used a few other tests on other hardware and it all seems like it works perfectly. So im pretty sure this is mostly software related but here are specs anyway: Windows 10 Gtx 1080ti I7 8700k Asus rog b350 250gb ssd So i noticed games crashing or not even starting, chrome randomly crashing, even the event wiever cant start sometimes. These are just a few of the issues but anyway i decided to format the pc. I tried formatting through windows settings which only resulted in crashes/blue schreens. My windows was up to date but i still tried downloading the may 2019 update which also resulted in blue schreens. I then got my bootable usb with windows 10 only to recieve another blue schreen. The usb drive works as i just formated the drive from the new pc in an old computer, however now the computer will only boot to blue schreens :/ how do i escape this blue hell? Any help is greatly appritiated Error messages: When booting from usb (or when automatic repair launches): 0xc0000021A. When just trying to boot: Inaccessible_boot_device

How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

¿You already tried this one?...

Run CMD


1. diskpart
2. list disk

Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

2. select disk #
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

good luck!

 

pre built gaming PC?

There's no reason to buy a name brand PC if you insist on a pre-built one. There are plenty of build houses that will build to your spec (within their configurator), and they also have pre-built models.

Doesn't make much sense to buy ANY pre-built though. Any 3 hr window you'd have on a weekend would easily be enough time to assemble ordered parts. We're talking like 8 main components which now a days are very easy plug n play assembly.

There are several easy to follow videos on how to put together a PC on YouTube, and if you watch them before the parts come, you'll literally be ready before they get there.

 

Upgrading motherboard on a Pre-Built PC

I am about to upgrade my motherboard on a Pre-Built PC that has had Windows 10 installed on it ever since I bought it. Will there be any issues with that since the PC came with a Windows 10 disc and product key on the side of the case. I have heard of
people having to buy new product keys and I was hoping I could avoid that.
