  1. My built Computer is stuck in a Windows Setup Loop trying to install Windows 10, or just...


    Tl;dR: My PC keeps booting into Windows Setup or saying "Reboot and select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key". I don't know what else to try.


    I built my first PC yesterday and so far it seems like the hardware is running fine. However, whenever I start it, it keeps booting up the Windows Setup to install it.

    When I "install" it, and it should work, it just restarts and boots from the USB Drive again. I used the official Microsoft Tool for the first time, and Rufus on a second USB drive as well the second time. I am slowly running out of ideas what to do, I think I've spent about 12 hours yesterday trying to set it up. My Specs are:


    • Motherboard: MGB MSI z390 Gaming Edge AC


    • CPU: i7 9700k


    • GPU: R9 390 8gb


    • SSD: Samsung Evo 860 250gb


    • RAM: 16g 3200mhz

    Here is a list of things I already tried


    • Format the SSD so I can load windows ontonit


    • Format the USB Drive and install the Official Windows Installation tool on it


    • Format a second USB Drive and use Rufus on it as well


    • Flash my Bios to the latest version


    • Use Bios Default Settings


    • Change Bios Default Settings from CSM

    Legacy + UEFi to UEFI only


    • Clean the SSD using Diskpart, then creating a partition, marking it as active and assignint it while using default settings


    • Cleaning the SSD again with Diskpart, then converting it to GPT and creating a partition, marking it as active and assigning it


    • Switching Cables and SATA Ports for the SSD


    • Pulling out the USB Drive while the PC restarts after installation


    • Marking the USB Partition as active and setting it to boot first


    • Pulling out the USB Drive and then putting the SSD as Boot Priority


    • Try to use Bios in Legacy + UEFI, then try to load the "red" SSD thats got a name instead of "Hard Drive" or"UEFI Hard Drive"

    However, after the last step, if I install Windows, remove the USB Drive and then start up again, all I see is


    ~Reboot and Select proper Boot Device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key~


    So apparently it doesn't recognize my SSD.

    If I try to put the "named" SSD First without a USB Drive, I just receive the above message.


    If I use UEFI BIOS, it just keeps using the USB Drive if it's inserted, if not it loads into Bios.


    When I then insert the USB Drive again and try to install Windows, it shows that there is now Data on the Partition.

    I honestly feel like I ran out or options, is there anything I can do?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 stuck in installation loop on tablet

    Now it won't even go on recovery since the screen is unresponsive as soon as it hits the windows software or whatever. I mean I press F9 and when I try to go on "advanced options" or "restart pc" it wont let me select it. I have this hub, but seems like it doesn't have enough mmm enough energy to pull all that through! I installed it through command prompt, as I told you. The installation wet fully through, then it said "the computer will restart now for some final changes or whatevere" and it restarted, now it's stuck on select a wifi network, I tried connecting my mouse or my keyboard and it doesn't seem to read them, only when I'm on UEFI, once it hits something related to windows, dead.
