OS problems HP Elitedesk 800 G1

Collin24 · May 13, 2023

I am planning to put a gtx 750 in a HP Elitedesk 800 G1, so I installed windows 10, but when I installed firefox, my monitor gave no signal. Once that happens, it boot cycles a couple of times then goes to the Windows recovery. "It looks like windows didn't load correctly." I believe that it is a storage device problem, where SATA0 could be busted, the hard drive could be busted, or the sata cable could be bad. I don't want to reinstall windows another 4 times unless nobody knows what is going on.

Sounds like an HP product doing HP things.

How did you install Windows 10? I ask because a clean install is the only way to go. This includes formatting your drives (deletes all info).

I put the installation files on a flash drive and booted to it, then deleted all of the past partitions, an clicked next. So yes, I did do a clean install.
