  1. New PC. No OS installed. Retail Windows 10 usb boot loop


    I have the Windows 10 pro full version usb with product key from Amazon.
    I tried again this time with the Windows Media creation tool. It just hangs on the bios boot screen and after a while reboots

    I would try a Linux Live USB flash drive. That will tell you if it is a hardware problem or if it is a Windows problem.

  3. Now the computer won't even get to the bios screen. It just reboots within seconds. I can't even turn it off unless I hold the power button down for a few seconds

    Sounds more and more like a hardware problem.

  5. I agree, sounds like a hardware issue. I'd pull the hard drive out if possible. And remove any external devices not needed for it to POST.

  6. And reset the BIOS to fail safe defaults.

  7. New problem

    Reset CMOS and now computer won't post. Lights on board work, cpu fan spins. No beep. Reboots. Continues on until I hold down the power button for a few seconds.

    I have tried removing the battery overnight. I have tried holding the reset button for 10 seconds while holding power button. I have tried turning off with PSU switch holding power button then turn on with PSU switch wait 1 minute try again. All fail
    Static wrist band always worn. Power cord always removed before CMOS reset.

    I am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Make sure the RAM timing settings in UEFI match exactly those of the RAM physically installed. You may have to go in and manually set them. Also make sure the two sticks of RAM are installed in the correct pair of slots for only 2 sticks.

  9. The manual for the board shows the slots as
    4 - 2 - 3 - 1. I have had 2 sticks in the 1 and 2 slots the whole time without moving them. Maybe try just 1 in slot #1?

    Or. Would these methods possibly work?
    Method #1:
    1.Shut off the powersupply by pressing the button on the ”PSU” or by removing the power cable.
    2.Press the powerbutton 3-4 times to empty the stored energy in the power supply.
    3.Turn on the powersupply
    4.Press and hold the powerbutton, the system will start the bootup procedure but will shut down after a few second. Release the powerbutton after the system have shut down completely.
    5.Press the powerbutton to start the system.
    6.If this technique was successful the system will boot and you will see the following image.

    Method #2:
    1.Shut your PC down.
    2.Hold the power AND the reset button for about 10 sec, than release.
    3.Backup BIOS should kick in anytime soon now.

    Method #3:
    1.Short out pins 1 and 6 on the main BIOS chip (pin #1 should be marked with a red dot or whatever)
    2.Tell a friend (or a relative) of yours to press the power on button
    3.Remove the ghetto-like jumper you’re holding between pins 1 and 6 as soon as you hear a beep.
    4.Backup BIOS should kick in again and everything will (hopefully) be fine.

  10. At this point I would leave only what is needed for it to POST connected. Power supply, motherboard, CPU, 1 stick of RAM, video card, keyboard. If it has onboard video, remove any add-in video cards.

    Is this a laptop ? If its a desktop, try using different cables to the hard drive or make sure the cables are connected . You didn't by any chance touch the jumper pins ?

  12. I don't think I did. Its a desktop by the way. I haven't tried a different CMOS battery yet either

    It's a desktop. I don't think I touched the jumper pins. I'm trying to upload a screenshot of the motherboard to show you there isn't any CMOS pins. I get an error http 500

  14. I misunderstood you. If you mean the CMOS pins then yes. I reset the CMOS with a flat head screwdriver touching both pins at once for a few seconds.

    No, the jumper pins have nothing to do with the battery .
