SOLVED - see https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/windows-10-installation-problems.3710452/#post-22365803 for solution

 

I cant seem to get windows 10 installed on this build although it posts and i can get into the bios fine. I have a windows 10 bootable usb with the latest windows 10 iso put on it through rufus. Every time in try to boot off of it, it seems to initalize something but then just hangs, the pic attached is what it displays when it hangs, it just does that forever. I have tried a new bootable usb (new usb, iso download and rufus again) same thing happens (also the usb boots fine on other PCs). Swapped around ram and gpu. Psu is 750w (~700w on 12v) so should be more than plently. I also tried installing windows on the drive i want it installed on but with it connected to a different pc, windows installed without any problems, put it back in the original PC and it hangs on the mobo logo screen and says 'preparing automatic repair' forever.

 

PS. i have a beep speaker in it and havent got any unusual beep codes just the one short beep to indicate post.

 

EDIT: it is now posting and restarting straight away and occasionally showing a bluescreen every now and then with different stop codes eveytime irql_not_less_or_equal being the most common 

EDIT 2: have now tried a new psu still getting the same result

i will try swapping out the mobo next as i have a b85 board that may work

 

Specs:

i5 4460

gigabyte ga-h81m (updated to lastest bios)

2x 4gb ram

gpus have tried - gt710 and gtx960

psu is a CX750m

I am trying to install widnows on a WD green 120gb sata ssd

there is also a wd 1tb hdd that is not connected

What storage do you have? If it is a sata drive, swap out the data cable. If it is m.2 try other ports and make sure the GPU is not in a pcie slot where Lanes are shared with memory controller. also, if it is sata check power cables to drive

Its sata i tried with a different data and power cable and have also checked the mobo manual the lanes are not shared.
