Windows 10: The dreaded blue logo and spinning dots

Last night my PC shut off entirely out of the blue. I was playing witcher 3 when it just turned off. So i turned it back on and all was fine. Then today I go to wake my computer up and then it starts turning on and off over and over again. Bought a new psu and picked it up today and then it started with the same problem but only once before it started working normally. I had done a lot of things to try fixing it following a friend's instructions. He likes to build PCs for fun prior to the new PSU including resetting the BIOS. After the one time issue with the new PSU installed, it turned on and was working seemingly fine. It wasn't detecting my second monitor though and there was no audio. So i checked the cables to see if i had forgotten something but i hadn't and everything looked fine. Now when booting it up, it won't go past the blue logo with the spinning dots. I've restarted it a few times and a couple times it said "preparing automatic repair" until it just went back to the dots. I'm at a loss and literally don't have anything else to do without my PC.

Installation Hangs at Blue Windows Logo, Error Code C1900101-20017

The BIOS update suggestion posted above by @Jegler helped me, @guhanath. I was on version 1.10 and updated to 1.90. The steps I took after that were just doing the official Windows 10 upgrade procedure.

Then the Windows 10 installation went without a hitch, and I'm no longer on Windows 7. I'm going to consider this solved, thank you @Jelger for the suggestion to update the BIOS!

 

Windows 10 installation stuck at blue logo(no spinning dots)


All,

I downloaded windows 10 ISO(I purchased it) file and created bootable DVD and USB using Rufus. I want to install windows 10 in one of the system which had corrupted windows 7 in SSD(No data or nothing is required)

My system config is below
Intel i5(4th gen)
Gigabyte H87 D3H(which has UEFI) and flashed to version 9
Nvidia 9400 GT(driver not updated but the site listing says it is compatible with win 10)
8GB RAM
SSD(60 GB, which has corrupted win 7)
HDD(500 GB)

Believe I have the minimum system requirement to install Windows 10?
After selecting cd/dvd/usb, windows 10 logo appears(without any spinning dots, just plain logo) and get stuck there. I waited for 1-2 hour but nothing happened. I searched and some of them have suggested to remove components and keep only bare minimum. So I tried removing GFX card and the HDD, and kept only SSD(default changed to IGFX). But even then it doesnt move forward from the windows logo screen.
Please someone suggest, how to move this installation further? Any debugging options? Anything I am missing here? I purchased it and hence I dont want to waste the money I spent on it.
I checked in BIOS and I can confirm that Fast boot is disabled or Data Execution Prevention and/or similar options are enabled.
Note:I havent used media creation tool here


To confim whether my bootable DVD/USB had some errors in initiating setup, I tried running setup.exe within my friends machine(win 7) and it is launching and giving me screens to download updates and/or to enter product key. Images attached which gives indication that setup is launching.
But when I try to run the setup as bootable DVD/USB I get the blue logo screen and nothing happens.(even no spinning dots below logo and/or errors to share) Refer Image - Win10_Bootable_DVD.jpg

Any help is appreciated to move this forward.

Thanks
Guhan
