Troubles installing Windows 10 on MSI X370 GAMING PLUS

MegaMoosh

Hello,

 

I have had trouble installing Windows 10 to my PC for the past two weeks (ish).

 

I only just found the solution today and wanted to share it in case anyone else was in the same situation.

 

When trying to boot from a USB stick to install Windows, the screen would bug or the Windows logo would flash on the screen and disappear before boot-looping.

 

Turns out (for me) the solution was to update my BIOS to the newest available version.

NOTE: For MSI board I'd recommend M-Flash because Live Update 6 is known to be risky, and can ruin your board at worst.

 

However faulty RAM, drivers, or even SLI could be causing the problem for you. Some older motherboards don't support booting from a USB 3.0 stick. Also try creating a bootable USB drive using Rufus and the newest version of Windows in ISO form.

 

So hopefully some find this useful, I definetly pulled my hair out for quite awhile trying to find and fix the problem.

 

William
