Windows 10 install gone wrong

[AVMperformance]

Hi everyone, I recently upgraded/replaced my pc build with all new part, the last upgrade was the cpu and motherboard.

 

Basically I replaced everything, gpu, cpu, motherboard, psu, ram, etc.

 

I have a rtx 3070 ti, Aorus elite ax lga 1200 (z590) chipset, Intel i9 10850k, gskill 3200mhz ram, and 750w platinum psu.  (If you need more info I can provide)

 

So I installed windows 10 via a USB stick, it said it couldn't find a storage device, and to load a driver. So I found Intel drivers, loaded them, and it continued the installation.  After it finished it took forever to load up, and get through the setup, once I finally could login everything was Basically frozen, moving extremely slow.  I was able to open task manager to see that the SSD I installed the OS to was spiked at 100%

 

I've tried reinstalling windows twice and no help.  Tried installing drivers and nothing.

 

I'm at a loss at the issue.

Your drives and how they are connected would be a good thing to know.

Pretty short description could need a few more details as right now it's not much to go by.

 

When did it say that? Where did you find the drivers? How long was your windows slow and unresponsive?

Are you running windows off the USB stick you used? Idk how you would have done that but it would explain why your drive is spiked at 100% and your PC is being slow.

 

I don't know how you would fix this besides googling how to install windows and following those steps instead of what your doing. But you may not be doing anything wrong so idk I'm not very smart.

I have three drives, one NVME drive on the m.2 slot, non OS storage. The main drive for the OS, is a SanDisk SSD, connected via data, and another storage drive which is a disk drive, 4tb. Sata aswel.  

 

During installation of windows 10 it couldn't find the drivers to allow it to see the SSD, drivers came from Intels website.  Computer barely loads up, about 90% unresponsive.  When I can do something it usually last about a minute before it locks up (becomes unresponsive)

Not running off the USB stick, windows has a media creation tool to allow you to create a windows 10 installation and install to a pc, via USB or cd, it initially loads off the USB, but installs to the drove you select.  Which in my case, it couldn't find until I downloaded Intel non-vmd drivers to the USB and selected those.

Does this help?  I'm once again resetting it, this time I won't continue until I get some input.  The last install wouldn't let me login.  Says my account doesn't exist, or password is wrong.  (It isnt)

Why are you not using your nvme for your OS?

 

Can you go into your BIOS and verify your drives are there?

 

What are your BIOS settings regarding your drives?

You normally don't need to install any drivers during or before your OS install.

I want the nvme dedicated to gaming (older setup it was) and the ssd for the os.  If the ssd is the issue I'll switch, but the nvme doesn't even show up yet on the list.

 

Bios shows two drives. The ssd. And the disk drive.  

Not sure what setting you need to see, but this is what the boot section is set too

Switch "Storage Boot Option Control" to UEFI in the BOOT menu.

 

Do the drives now show up in the installer?

To better answer how slow it is...it took me an hour to get to this point.  After logging in...lol when it drops from 100% to normal I'm fine to do something, usually won't last long.

Well, for you and those who may ask again.  The issue so far was intels "IRST" option in the bios....I changed it to ACHI (different from the other boot options) and its running perfect.  Im gonna leave this thread open for another day so I can hopefully research the IRST from intel and post a better "fix" and what the exact issue was and why.  Thanks again for helping.
