Like i said. 

Windows refuses to install. I had a 2015 copy on a cd drive that would install. It refused to work with a certain update (didnt catch which one either time) and would then leave a black screen where i couldnt do anything. 

So i gave up, just bought a key from bestbuy, plug in the flash drive and install a clearly newer version (sep 2020) and as soon as i log in with my account and go through privacy settings, black screen. 

 

Tried doing the cmd "sfc/scannow" and just got

"Could not perform the requested operation" 

 

System is a ax-370 g5 gigabyte board. R5 2600x cpu. 16gb 3200mhz corsair ram. EVGA 2070 xc ultra gpu. 700w psu. 

Combo ran just fine 48 hrs ago

 

This system ran windows off an m.2 (mp300 corsair) just fine before this. With an 850 evo 500gb for backup. 

I also bought a wd blue 1tb ssd (needed the storage anyways and thought maybe it was the m.2) 

Reinstalls on the m.2 or wd blue drives failed even with the new key/flash drive

The m.2 and 850 also failed to work from the 2015 disk i had. 

 

 

 

This came about from unplugging my storage and plugging in a friends storage to install windows (which worked) 

Upon plugging in my own storage again (the m.2 and 850 evo at the time) it said insert boot media. 

Reinsert m.2

Same thing

And the keyboard didnt work.

Tried another keyboard and grabbed the wd blue ssd and still no dice, couldnt change any settings on boot because keyboards werent being resistered by the pc. 

Pulled the cmos battery and somehow got usage of my keyboard back. 

 

 

Im at my wits end and completely stumped. 

Someone please tell me im dumb and theres a 5 min solution or something.

that board has had 18 bios updates , have any of them been applied?

Not to my knowledge. 

Would it of had a factory update that was lost when i took out the cmos battery?

This combination booted up beautifully when i built it 3ish years ago with a 960 instead of the 2070

No

Why would this cause a previously working system to fail and then refuse to run? 

well thats a question for the guy who created a ton of stability fixes for the board could probably answer.

if you do not wish to apply the fixes to board then revert the machine back to it's original hardware and software configuration it was at when you initially built it and do not update the machines software/hardware. So long as the machine doesn't need any form of networking with other machines then it can remain in it's several year old state and be perfectly stable/consistent like that.

Its currently not possible anyways as i dont have another pc & flash drive. 

 

Its like the graphics drivers have suddenly totally stopped the second it says its getting ready at the end of the install.
