B350M Doesn't detect USB

Hi. I made a bootable USB using rufus to install windows on my (mostly) new PC.

 

I bought MSI B350M gaming pro, ryzen 1200 and hyperX 1x8 3200mhz to replace my old parts.

 

I replaced them without any problems. I booted until bios and can't seem to figure out why my USB does not show in BIOS.

 

I go a screen showing that changes have been made and the displayed changes matches the new parts without any issues.

 

Trying to load into old windows 7 gives me blue screen (Trying to install windows 10)

 

I have tried multiple combinations of UEFI, UEFI+LEGACY, Windows OS configuration and some settings I don't even remember, but the same issue comes up, the USB is not recognised. Does not show up in boot menu.

 

With certain settings the SSD and HDD I have also does not show up but most of the times it does, never does the bootable USB show up.

 

Its a 2.0 USB.

 

Where do I go from where to install windows on my "new" PC?

How did you do the Rufus thing?
Cus it matters if you use GPT or MBR...
(You definatly need GPT for the UEFI bios.)

 

Also make sure Rufus is updated to the latest version and that you disabled secure boot in your UEFI bios. (Like it says in big red letters.)

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
I'm just helping YOU to help YOURSELF!
(The more info you give the easier it is for others to help you out!)

I am not sure about GPT or MBR. I looked for the ISO file and clicked start. Will have a look.

 

As for secure boot, I tried it both disabled and not. Either way, wouldnt the usb show up in bios regardless of it? If I go into usb info it shows my keyboard and mouse but not the flash drive. Or am I stupid and wrong about that

Unfortunately windows 7 isn't supported by Ryzen motherboards

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 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

No you are not wrong about that. It should at least list it in the bios no matter the MBR or GPT.
Some (older) motherboards do have only 1 or 2 USB slots that are able to be booted from. Should be in the manual, but im guessing thats not the case for a Ryzen board.

So if you can try another stick like @Viper9 said, that might help.

Ended up buying a new USB drive which then worked perfectly...

 

I have no idea why but the previous USB has worked on about 20 different computers, going from 10 years old to today's best computers. But does not work on this computer. NO IDEA WHY.

 

Thank's for the ideas.
