Cannot load into windows installation - new PC

[Hugs12343]

Hi all

 

Just built a new PC. Specs here

 

• 12700k
• Asus strix z690-e
• Kingston 2x16GB KF552C40BBK2-32
• Asus Strix 3080ti OC

 

I can get into UEFI Bios just fine, so the system passes POST. But when I load into my windows install usb, it goes to load then gives me the following error (see attached) .

 

Here's what I tried so far with no luck.

• Updated BIOS to latest version 0811
• Bumped memory voltage to 1.35 running XMP II 5200MHz from the stock 1.25 on the profile
• Ran MemTest86 in UEFI which ran fully with no errors
• Enabled CSM
• Disabled Secure Boot
• Tried booting into existing windows install with same error
• Increasing memory controller voltage slowly to 1.5 with no difference.

 

I don't really want to push memory voltage much higher and I don't think it will make a difference anyway. Came here for some help.

 

Any help greatly appreciated

How did you make the bootmedia? With the windows installer creation tool thing? Tried disabling XMP and just let it run at default speed instead of jacking the memory voltage up.
 

You ran DDR5 at 1.5v..? Or do you have a set of 5200 DDR4? I would expect 1.5v to fry DDR5…. That’s a lot of volts for DDR4, and DDR5 is lower voltage. If it’s 5200 DDR4, that’s likely the issue, not many CPU’s can run 5200 DDR4.

I had it on a USB I made a few weeks ago. I thought that might be part of the problem. Reinstalled it to a different USB with same outcome.

 

XMP disabled doesn't fix it.

 

So DDR5 not at 1.5 but the memory controller (IMC)

 

I think I may have figured out the problem. Will confirm. But I had my 960 evo in the Hyper M.2 card included with the motherboard.

when I take that out, the error does not occur. Weird. I'm gonna put the ssd in the mobo slot and see if that works.

Figured it out and thought I'd put it here should anyone come across this in the future.

 

Something must have been corrupted on my 960 evo ssd. Even booting into other devices caused it to crash

 

In the bios i secure erased the 960 evo ssd and all working now.

Very cool - glad you figured it out, and thank you for mentioning the fix.
