Windows 10 installation problem

Hello forum.

I'll try to make this clear and detailed while being quick.

I built a computer for my girlfriends brother, so I provided the case, CPU cooler, hard drive, motherboard, and SSD.

Girlfriend bought PSU, Windows 10, CPU (from the classifieds in this forum), R9 380, RAM, and CD drive.

When I tried installing windows 10, it shows the logo then the computer decides to turn off the peripherals and enters a weird sleep state where it's on but not enough to power anything else. I tried leaving just the drive to install to, yet to no avail.

It originally boots just fine, but when it gets to the windows logo, it hangs for a while then decides to power everything else besides the components.

I'll answer any questions if I need clarify. Thanks guys!

EDIT:

CPU: g3258

Mobo: MSI z87 g45

Samsung evo 120gb SSD 840

Western Digital 500gb blue caviar

Evga 600w

Corsair hydro h100i

Kingston hyperX 8gb

Corsair 760T

Umm...  What motherboard are you using?

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

I tried going through the installation without the GPU, but same results

Can you give me more details about what's going on?  Maybe a video?

Im such an idiot, Why didn't I put the phone horizontally -_- That is why I am not a camera man

Can you try the installation through a USB device instead of a DVD?  DVD's are known to loose their data integrity easily.

I can give it a shot, I am not currently home so I would have to (hopefully not get in trouble) update you guys around 3 days.

That sounds like a plan, if you need help on creating a USB version of the install media, just see the link in my signature.

UPDATE: I tried using USB boot but it still does the same thing. I am suspecting it as a hardware problem now. Both DVD and USB doesn't go through.

this is generally a weird predicament. I'm not so sure it is a hardware failure. Try installing s version of Linux just to be sure.

That is what I was thinking as well.. I have no way of testing which part is faulty. I know it isn't the GPU since I physically took it out and tried that way. I'll see if there is a shop I can use.

keep me updated. Let me know when you try a Linux install media. Ubuntu would probably be the best distro as it is more automated.
