Unable to install Windows 10 on a newly built machine

Sounds like bad or improperly seated memory. If your memory is seated properly, try testing it by creating a bootable MemTest86 instance from https://www.memtest86.com/. Instructions are available at https://www.memtest86.com/tech_creating-window.html.

Hi all.

 

I am trying to install Windows 10 from a bootable USB I created with Microsoft’s official media creation tool on a brand new (newly built) system but keep getting met with random errors such as:

I have created the bootable USB twice now just in case it didn’t create correctly and still the same issue. No disk drive so can’t use a disk. Stuck now and getting frustrated.

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Have you tried a different USB?

I have not. I will try that now.

Checked in bios and all 4 sticks are showing correctly. All drives are showing, video is coming out of gpu instead of mobo. I’ve double checked and made sure everything is seated correctly.

Thanks for offering this advice. I looked into it more last night after replying and it turns out my memory was in XMP before I could update the BIOS so was causing major instability. Resolved now, cheers.
