Windows installation problems, please help

Hello, 
I got my new PC yesterday and I have a problem.

I try to install Windows 10 and after first restart windows 10 does not boot up, my system just keeps restarting. After I try to install windows again, it says that disk already has windows files on it. So after first reboot in the installation process system just keeps rebooting when it should load windows.

Here is my system:

CPU: i7 6800k
MB: MSI X99A SLI Plus
RAM: 32 GB Vengeance DDR4

HDD: Plextor M8Pe M.2 NVMe 512GB SSD
GPU: Asus GFX 1070

 

When I tried to install Windows 7 on this system, windows did not find SSD(it did not show up when I should select place to install it), On Windows 10 installation drive showed up.

I have turned on M2 support in bios.

I have no idea why system keeps rebooting. 

Does anyone have had this problem before?

unplug every drive and sata connection expect the m.2 drive. enter your bios and make sure it is registering. Make sure the m.2 is seated correctly. clear and reformat and try again. You should only have CPU, RAM, Motherboard, video input, and MVME m.2 connected (nothing else!). Then you can narrow down the problems.

I did this yesterday. 

I managed to boot windows. It looks like this issue was related with "fast boot" settings in bios.

You might need to update your BIOS. I shy away from that because you can brick you system if the power goes out or unsuccessful. Toms hardware is another good resource. Also depending on your motherboard manufacturer, they can give you step by step support, or new MOBO. I have had to go through RMA and while it sucks; motherboards do fail more often and better to fix it early during warranty. GOOD LUCK! sounds like a sweet build :)
