Can't reformat my computer! STUCK!

[iBot]

So I recently bought a new motherboard MSI z270-A PRO and i5 7600k to go with it along with 2666mhz corsair LPX DDR 4 RAMs to pair with my old R9 280.  I also have a Samsung 840 EVO 120gb SSD as my main drive, Samsung 840 EVO 240GB as my secondary, and my super old HDD in RAID 0 and a 1TB HDD.

 

I reformatted the computer once when I switched parts over because it was jittery and laggy at times.  But I read that it's an issue when switching motherboard or chipsets.

I then got 2 new case fans to install just TODAY!  I turned off my PC holding the power button, and I didn'tk now it would bring me to automatic repair after doing so three times.  So my computer was stuck in automatic repair and I researched everything to try to get out of it.  However when I got out of automatic repair my computer was stuck in a continuous spinning dot cycle for hours.  So I decided to reformat my computer ONCE AGAIN!

 

So now here is my problem:
When I'm reformatting, it's usually super fast to load up the windows 10 installation.  However, this time it booted into the blue screen with no menu available for at least 15minutes.  Then the language and keyboard language option finally shows up.  I click next, and now my screen has been stuck on Setup is starting for the past hour, with the hourglass as my cursor (I've even tried to open diskpart, but it wouldn't even load).  I've been trying to fix this all day and I'm shit out of luck and desperate.  Please send help

If you're willing, try to do a complete fresh install of windows using the Windows Media Creation tool.  Delete all the partitions, etc. go thru the whole process and reinstall windows.

When you get to this step you just delete everything, that's basically formatting it but better.

I've been loading for 3 hours trying to get to this part  I feel like it's never going to load, there's an hourglass cursor before this screen and it just forever setting up.

I'm basically stuck at this guy's video except like 3 hours.

First off I am sorry people are replying to you without actually reading your posts and therefore making useless suggestions.

 

It seems you are having some wierd issues, so I would suggest you disconnect anything you dont strictly need. Plug in only screen, mouse, keyboard and power and have only your main SSD attached to your motherboard.

 

Now try to boot from the installation USB and see if you are still getting stuck.

If that happens clear your CMOS and go to your bios and make sure you are running in AHCI mode, with WHQL win8/10 support.

Then try again. I will try to check in later to read your results.

 

Good luck

Oh my goodness you're a life saver.  Waited 3 hours and now I finally can reformat my computer.  I'll update again once everything is back to normal.  

Until then what is the reason for that traffic jam? Does it indicate something failing on my system?

 

So I finally reformatted my computer and everything is up and running.  But a clearer understanding of what happened would be awesome so I could learn my mistakes.

 

Cheers @Storytellar
