    Unable to boot to Windows 10 installation. Freezes and shutsdown.


    Using Windows Media Creation Tool. I tried to make a Windows installation USB. Following the instructions on this site, I succesfully did that and tried it on my PC. This PC was built today. After booting to the USB, the monitor showed the BIOS's motherboard theme, yet split in two as if it's loading something. After a while it then changes to a blue screen with no text and graphical bugs on the right side of the screen, then just shuts down with no error.

    I tried enabling CSM. That only made the graphical bug on the blue screen disappear and made the bios theme load totally rather than splitting it. Still shuts down with no error code. I then tried to use the media creation tool to make a .ISO file. Then, I used Rufus to image it into the USB. Same results.

    Tried to download the ISO directly from Microsoft's website, but Rufus could not image the ISO to my USB, with the error being an "undetermined error". Looking around it could be that my USB does not support NTFS type because Rufus was forced to use that type when imaging this specific ISO.

    I thought It was a bad USB, and it actually could be. Enabling the check bad sectors on Rufus in 1 pass mode made it found 200+ corrupted error on read pass. However, using chkdsk it didnt detect anything. And this is a brand new USB i bought from a random local shop. Which is why i'll try to buy a new flashdisk from a reputable source later.

    My question is, Is there anyway to be certain that is not my Motherboard's or any other parts' fault? Again, this is a brand new built PC so i was extremely afraid if this wasnt the USB's fault, but my PC's. I tried installing Ubuntu, but it didnt even boot into it. However, it did recognize that it was a bootable USB in the BIOS.

    As a side note, the Motherboard's EZ Debug LED says that there is no error except for the boot being undetectable/failing.

  2. Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
