Sanity check: are both SATA power and data plugged in? Also, a whole spec list from pcpartpicker is nice.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Disable UEFI Protected Mode in Bios until after you've installed Windows (Or your other OS.) Also try connecting to different SATA ports, and check on that cable giving it power. I've had this happen to me when I first attempted to use a M.2 SSD. Not sure if youre doing the same thing, but if so try looking at this site.

Hi, so a few friends of mine just build their first pic and can't get the thing to boot and install Windows. Z390-A Pro is the board they used.

more specs for the system would be nice information to have.

 

Is it not booting at all, or just not letting you install Windows?  I'm having a similar issue with a Z390/8700k build that I'm doing for someone, and it turned out to be the CPU from the looks of things (waiting on a replacement CPU).  The BIOS refused to detect the drives on a consistent basis, I thought it was the motherboard, swapped boards, swapped cords, swapped drives, nothing helped, so yep, probably the Processor, don't know if you're having that exact issue though.

Primary Rig:

CPU: AMD 7800X3D @ Stock PBO - Mobo: Gigabyte X670E AORUS Master

2 x 48GB G.Skill Trident Z Royal 6400MHz CL32 1.35V @ 6200MHz CL28-37-32-30 1.5V (still tuning)

CPU Cooler: EK AIO that will be being replaced when I get the chance - PSU: eVGA P2 1200W

GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC @ either 2595MHz @ 900mV or 2970MHz @ 1070mV

Case: Thermaltake View 91 - SSDs/HDDs: 1 Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, 2 990 Pro 2TB M.2s, 1 990 Pro 4TB M.2, 1 TeamGroup Cardea Z440 2TB M.2, 1 Seagate EXO X10 10TB HDD

Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G9 49" Super-Ultrawide 240Hz Monitor
