Windows 10: [Windows 10 clean install] Booting from USB freezes on black screen w/dots

I recently built a computer (see parts list below) and I am attempting to install Windows 10 via a USB on a new SSD (NOTE: This is a brand new install, I don't have an existing harddrive with Windows on it). I have downloaded the Windows Media tool and formatted the USB correctly with an active Windows 10 key. Plugged in USB and booted into the BIOS to boot from USB. I get the whole install process and once the PC restarts after install, it attempts to finish the process but freezes on a black screen with the Window's dots frozen. I can still move the mouse around. I've attempted the following:

- Clean install and unplugging all USB devices

- Booting via the GPU

- Booting via the BIOS

- Clearing CMOS and doing a clean install all over again


I don't know what else to do, any help would be great!


Computer Parts List:


+ ASUS TUF Z390 Plus Motherboard

+ Intel Core i7-9700K

+ CORSAIR Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz

+ Crucial P1 1TB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD

+ MSI GEFORCE GTX1080 TI GAMING X 11G

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

 

Installation media boots to command prompt

I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

1. Windows logo on a black screen
2. circling dots appear beneath the logo
3. light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots
4. a command prompt window (very briefly)
5. the initial Setup page appears

Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.
