Thank you for your time even if you give it a read, I am reposting it from reddit subs as no one seems to find an answer to give me :(.

 

I recently got my first build nicely set up, Bios worked wonders, all components seem to be in good shape, and the problem arised. Windows OS 64 nor 32 bit is installing! I choose the UEFI mode (and tried it without it too) of the usb drive a bar appears <loading files> and it then gives me a black screen / Logo asus screen.

It's been three days of furious google searches and troubleshoots, but no solution found as of yet, if there is anything that would be worth trying please suggest. I will give a list of equipment and 'fixes' attempted.

Fixes.

Defaulted the BIOS with different settings in case it is related to that.

Tried Booting through priority list, as well as through shortcut (F11), though the last command is not activating for some reason. Unplugged power supply + Checked all connections (nothing wrong that I can tell).

Currently running a Complete Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool, just in case.

Installed the Win Media two different times, with full formatting of the USB in case there was a corruption. (First time gave me error code 0xc0000098)

Attempted to reset CMOS, but don't find neither the CMOS sleeve, nor a button on the motherboard.

 

I would really, really, really, appreciate any help, it is driving me insane, and just can't fix it on my own!

EDIT* wow. Im such a tool.

 

I see the problem, Ill search and get back with what I think

Do you mean upload the .exe media tool into the USB directly, instead of using the .exe installation menu with the stick as a destination? 

 

Thank you for your input I mean it, whether it works or not I am very thankful

No, I hadn't read your entire post. 

 

According to the site I sourced, attempt to install with no unecassary peripherals or drives connected, so just the main drive, one monitor, one keyboard, one mouse, and the USB.

 

If that doesn't work, try going back to the prehistoric days of DVD installs. If thats not an option, attempt to get ahold of microsoft to see ift they have encounters with this issue.

Removing the battery for 10 minutes will fully reset the cmos.

CdsBoy2000 - Did that do it? Sorry!

 

G33K 4 L1F3 - I will give it a look and act on it, unfortunately I was only using those peripherals though, I'll checka nd see if there is anything else in the source you sent. Thank you!

 

CookieMaster - Cheers! Is this unplugging the Power supply form the wall? or disconnected from the motherboard? 

Thank you for your time

Check the motherboard manual for correct way of resetting the BIOS. this way you can get the correct way, not the general way that not all motherboards follow. some require the bridge of two pins, since they do not have a CMOS battery.

Well CMOS reset did not do much, I will be waiting for the ODD to come tomorrow and see if that does it. Otherwise, I will be again without an answer on what to do, maybe it;s time to contact Microsoft. On the subject of ODD, is the SATA necessary, or will just using a usb be enough?

 

Thank you very much for the help

I mean just the USB is the install, the sata is what youre installing on.

 

I would contact microsoft via call and see if they have any info. if not, post on the forum.
