So I recently built my girlfriend a PC for her digital art. She was heavy on a budget and so I only got her an intel pentium processor on a gigabyte z97-sli mobo. I used an ISO disc that burnt myself of Windows 10 and now it struggles to boot up. If you boot it from completely off, it will turn on, try to boot, not give me bios and just restart over and over again. If however I hit the restart button as it is booting up, that usually fixes the problem. Sometimes when that doesn't fix it, I have to unplug her usb keyboard and then it will boot as normal. Any ideas how I can fix this? I just want her computer to run as perfectly as mine does. It was a gift and now it's more of an annoyance.

Have you tries clearing the CMOS? WHat about BIOS/UEFI updates?

 

 

re-install windows

Won't work as this is an POST issue, this is happening before Windows gets bootloaded.

So you guys think I should reinstall windows?

 

No I think you should set the install device (CD DRIVE) as your primary boot as it's searching for it but can't find it hence the loop.
