Windows not installing on new Build.

[Fulbring]

Hey everyone, so i recently built my friend a PC based on AMD (I know I should have told him to wait for Ryzen but he needed it so I had no choice but to build him something). 

 

The build was completed and powered on and everything. The specs are listed at the end of the post. The problem is that when I go to install Windows 7 or Windows 10. The dots come on for Windows 10 sometimes with the Windows logo or sometimes it just overlaps the MSI 970 Gaming logo and just goes blank. Same thing for Windows 7, the entire "Windows is configuring White text with a loading bar comes and just give a black screen with a cursor. I've tried various things such as remaking the bootable device, trying to use UEFI and Legacy + UEFI method by creating both types of bootable media with no results in site.

 

Also, there is one other HDD in there which might have Windows on it, but it still shouldn't affect me creating a fresh install right? But thats not even the problem since the bootable device just stops working...

 

I am getting frustrated because of not knowing the problem and trying to figure it out. So I turned to you folks who have helped me tremendously in the past with my problems in PC building to see if someone can help me in this matter.

 

Is it the motherboard configurations? The compatibility? The way I'm installing Windows? Any guidance will be very appreciated!

I have not tried that simply because the person wants Windows.

try memtest, seems to be a bad/unstable system

What about CPU? The temperature rise to like almost 70 Degree Celsius, but I heard for the FX 8350, that's normal. 

 

Also, memory shows up fine in the BIOS, so could it still be a problem?

cpu temp wouldn't cause that issue. 

 

Try taking out a stick of ram.

Bad memory will still show up in BIOS unless its REALLY REALLY bad, and I've never heard of it coming from the factory that way.

I see. I'll try taking the memory out and trying different ones and what not. 

 

What about the CPU, I don't think the cooler I attached is too tight on it. That couldn't be a problem either right?

I mean, most are set up where you'd have to really crank it on there to do any damage. I guess you could have bent a pin, but generally a messed up CPU means you're not even going to pass the POST
