PC Reboots during Windows 10 setup

[Paperjupiter]

As the title reads my pc won't allow me to install windows 10. I've tried using a new motherboard, buying an m.2 ssd, and nothing has worked. It's been months since I've been able to use my pc, and I need serious help. I have a Asrock x570 Gaming Phantom 4, Zotac Geforce GTX 1660 TI, Corsair (2x8) 3200 RAM, and a Ryzen 5 3600X. My pc doesn't shutdown when this happens so I know it's not the power supply. Idk what to do anymore. Last night when I got the ssd, my windows setup got 78% on copying the windows files and the my pc reboot again and I have to start over but when I try to start over my pc reboots when the windows logo and the loading circle comes up.

Have you tried a different USB drive, or tried to wipe the drive and put Windows back on the USB drive? It could be corrupt files that cause this. You can get windows from Microsoft's website.

Alternatively you can also try installing Windows using a different machine like a laptop, and then removing the drive you installed windows on and putting it into your main PC.

USB drive or corrupt windows ISO seems most likely,  downloading a fresh ISO would be my first starting point, then try a different USB drive, for good measure remove one stick of RAM or switch the sticks to the opposite slots (it's probably not that but hopefully it isn't a memory error as it copies to ram)

When your PC reboots, yank the flash drive out.

 

I've run into this before. It happens because the UEFI tells the system to boot from the flash drive first...which happens to be before the system realizes it was in the middle of a Windows install (as in, it hasn't looked at your storage drive yet).

 

When it looks at the flash drive, it sees "hey, there's an initializer, I'll run that," and it starts the install over again rather than seeing the storage drive to continue the install it was already doing.

 

Pissed me off for about two hours while I figured it out.

I tried this but it just told me to insert the boot drive when it started up again

I've done this to no avail unfortunately
