What'd you do different?

tdvxTy7.png I set the Storage Boot option Control to UEFI in the BIOS, and the boot drive to the USB then restarted, then In this menu i chose "Install Windows Only" and then a disc with space.

Solution: I set the Storage Boot option Control to UEFI in the BIOS, and the boot drive to the Windows USB then restarted and initated the Windows download.


I have very little experience with installing OS, last time i did it everything went smooth.
I'm trying to install windows 10 from a USB pin i bought with all the new components.
Tried repair from install screen. http://i.imgur.com/qWA5Ozw.jpg "Startup reparation. Startup reparation could not repair the PC."
BIOS Features tab http://i.imgur.com/PVlu9Gl.jpg

What i get after i type in my Product Key http://i.imgur.com/5I83vvV.jpg
^ "The computer started by using the installationmedia for windows. Remove the installationmedia and restart the computer, so windows starts again normally. Then insert the installationmedia again and start the upgrading again. (some babble about not choosing advanced and stuff being deleted)"
Doing this changes nothing.

 

Minor update: I started normally again (not doing anything when the pc starts up) and now i got this???: http://i.imgur.com/zzPS3dJ.jpg

Use RUFUS to make the USB boot drive if you are not already.  It's the most reliable IMO.

 

Your problem can be caused by a plethora of different things. Instead of running through a list a possible problems, I would just go through the OS installation process again.

- ASUS X99 Deluxe - i7 5820k - Nvidia GTX 1080ti SLi - 4x4GB EVGA SSC 2800mhz DDR4 - Samsung SM951 500 - 2x Samsung 850 EVO 512 -

As others have said, it could very well be the USB itself. I was having some issues getting any boot programs to start up correctly, and it turned out that it was my actual USB ports that were screwing up on the computer, so I have to create a media disk instead. It kept throwing different errors at me every time.

 

So, I would say redo the media, and try different ports for your USB if you haven't already. Just to get that off the table.

Should i do this with my own empty usb stick or the one from microsoft with windows on it?

If you're using an official Windows 10 USB, then that's not the problem.  I thought you might have been making your own bootable USB.

 

If you're unsure whether the OS installed correctly, go ahead and try re-installing.  If you reach a point of uncertainty, google it or ask on here.

 

If you're sure the OS has been installed correctly, make sure all USB drives are unplugged and try rebooting.  Change Storage Boot option Control to UEFI and see what options it brings up. You might need to change your drive mode to AHCI if it's running as IDE or something else.
