    New AMD build freezing after windows install/at first boot


    Hi all,

    This is a brand new PC build. Here are the parts used:

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 3600
    Motherboard: MSI Mortar B550
    RAM: 8X2 Gb Gskill Ripjaws V DDR4 3600 F4-3600C16D-16GVKC
    Video Card: Nvidia RTX 2060
    Storage: Western Digital m.2

    It posts fine and I am able to enter BIOS without any issues. Windows appears to install without any problems until it restarts and tries to boot with windows for the first time. The windows dots move for a while then just freeze.

    What I have tried so far:
    I have updated BIOS to the latest version
    I have tried booting with just one stick of RAM
    I have tried moving the video card to a different slot
    I have installed windows 5 separate times; 3 times with the m.2 and twice on an old HDD I have. both have the same issues.
    I have tried installing windows from 2 different USB drives both with fresh downloads of windows 10
    The debug LED's on the motherboard don't show any issues; they light up on booting but then turn off I think that's normal?

    Anyone have any suggestions? I have built several PC's in the past but it's been several years and all of my previous builds have been Intel. This is my first AMD build. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

  3. Windows Installation on New Build Freezes at the first loading dial

    Hi Mike. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Guardian Moderator here to help you.

    I will give you all possible steps to troubleshoot installation failure which work in about 90% of cases. If not we'll go from there:

    Follow the illustrated Clean Install steps in this tutorial which compiles the best possible install that will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given:

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...


    Make sure all other drives and peripherals are unplugged. Update the BIOS or UEFI firmware to latest, or reset to Defaults, making sure SATA controller is set to AHCI, UEFI is enabled, CSM or Legacy BIOS disabled, Windows Boot Manager set first to boot, if
    necessary disable Secure and Fast Boot until after install:
    https://www.mydigitallife.net/comprehensive-lis...


    https://www.groovypost.com/howto/reset-pc-bios-...

    Create the latest new Windows 10 Installation Media by installing Media Creation Tool and following the directions here:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m...
    . If you're using another PC to do this then uncheck the box for Recommended Settings to choose the exact version and bit rate for the target PC only.

    Insert media, boot it by powering up PC while pressing the BIOS Boot Menu Key:
    https://www.sysnative.com/forums/hardware-tutor...


    If the media won't boot you may need to enter BIOS/UEFI Setup (pressing key given in chart in link above) to turn off Fast Boot or Fast Startup first. If you can start Windows enter UEFI firmware here:

    http://www.isunshare.com/windows-password/four-...


    Choose the boot device as a UEFI device if offered, on first screen press Shift + F10 to open a Command Prompt, type the following commands, each followed by Enter key:

    DISKPART

    LIST DISK

    SEL DIS # (replace # with the disk # of the Windows disk from list in previous command)

    CLEAN

    EXIT

    Close Command Box, on second screen choose Install Now, then Custom Install, then at the drive selection screen choose Unallocated Space, click Next to let it create needed partitions and start install - this makes it foolproof.

    Make sure to follow the setup steps in the first link tutorial to complete your install. Drivers are important enough that those steps are printed in red.

    You will get and keep the best possible install to the exact extent you stick with the steps, tools and methods in the first linked tutorial. It's a better install than any amount of money could buy and a great learning experience that will make you the master
    of your PC.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
