Windows 10: Reinstalling windows on a crashed system with BitLocker active

I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 that recently crashed. I was able to get into the hard drive and copy my files via DOS, but am unable to re-installs Windows and the BitLocker is active and won't disengage.I've been all over the message boards, but the steps I've found aren't working.Checkdisk via DOS shows no issues with the drive, so I'm not sure the cause, and I'm not able to get Windows to restart as I get a Blue Screen error message and then and endless boot loop.I'd hate to have to chuck this $1K machine at least it was at purchase, if it can be reused.Thanks in advance for any insi

:)

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?

 

Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

Hi,

We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

• You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
• The drive must be BitLocker-protected.

To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

• Click Start, click Control Panel, click
  System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
• Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
• A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
  
• Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

Let us know how it goes.
