It's been more than a week and I just got windows to install. My solution was updating BIOS to the latest version and Turning off TPM in BIOS and Clearing TPM.

Okay I will try that, but should I use legacy or UEFI? Also should I use Rufus to install the UEFI version?

I am trying to install windows 10 pro for a friend. I don't know why I didn't just use the upgrade option, but I ended up deleting all the paritions on the laptop. Now whenever I try to install windows using my USB stick or an external HDD it will stay stuck on the windows logo. The laptop uses...

Hey landeviraj, The build is pretty solid, but if I were you I'd get the i5-8600k, since it's the first mainstream i5 to have 6 cores instead of 4, but wait a bit for the prices of the new 8th gen cpus and z370 boards to go down. (They are out of stock at this point) Moreover, the rumored gtx...

This is most likely caused by some bottleneck, could you include your PC specs?

This might seem like a silly question, but I'll ask anyway... Did you apply Thermal paste?
