Cannot install Fall Creators Update (win10)

Hello

When I try installing the update, the system does keep restarting, but after like the third restart, the motherboard CPU debug led lights up (MSI b350 tomahawk), and it doesn't start up. The only way to restore the system to working order is to reset/shut off power and restart manually, which screws up the update and causes it to roll back to 1703. (which is the original version)

Specs:

R5 1600

MSI B350 Tomahawk

F4-3000C16S-8GISB (on the motherboard support list)

Nothing's overclocked. 

Anyone with a similar problem?

MSi Tomahawk is well known to be a problematic motherboard, have you ever updated its BIOS?

how many times have you tried? i've seen a few cases where it took more than one try to get trough the update.

 

for some actual troubleshooting steps.. happen to have some exotic software installed? thinking here of more obscure development tools, special sauce GPU drivers, etc.

My experience with 1709 update is horrible. For some weird reason everything was lagging and stuttering.

I wasn't even able to watch movie in VLC ... tried sfc scan, updating everything, restarting PC, looking in event viewer to find something strange ... after 2 days I reverted back to 1703 and everything works just fine again. 

 

I'm not going to bother with 1709 update for the next 35 days (that's the max amount I can pause windows updates).

I upgraded my PC recently to the Fall Creator's Update. It failed when I told the installer to grab updates. After it rolled itself back, I told it to not grab updates and it worked just fine.

 

My guess is it tried to grab drivers or other system software that didn't exactly work on my system.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

@manikyath I tried 2 times, and the Bios was updated in july (there has been 1 update since then), nothing like you mentioned, but I do use MSI Afterburner 4.40+ rivatuner 7.0.0

As for drivers I have an R9 280X GPU, with 17.7.2 driver installed + 17.30 am4 chipset driver.
