    Question Cannot install Windows 10 on Asus z690 Maximus Formula

    I don’t have access to Windows on that machine any longer. All the BSODs I get are related to driver issues. 0xc000021a NON_DEFAULT_PAGE SYSTEM_EXCEPTION SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE Are the main ones, if I’m not mistaken

    Question Cannot install Windows 10 on Asus z690 Maximus Formula

    It’s not a hardware issue, it’s a software issue. I have had Windows installed on this for more than a year, started having software problems when I used CCleaner to adjust stuff because the main game I play is a bit at odds with the 13k CPU according to the company that makes the game. What I...

    Question Cannot install Windows 10 on Asus z690 Maximus Formula

    It’s a CrossChill VRM, I will get a refund on this, or another one since they are recalled due to the VRM being garbage but I still want to have a computer on the meantime, so I appreciate if you can focus on actually helping with what I need. All the hardware is working. Has been working for...

    Question System freezing when installing Windows ?

    Motherboard: Asus Maximus Z690 Formula I have tested the hardware very thoroughly, so please keep this in mind. I have installed Windows 10 in this machine before but I ran into a boot loop issue and decided to do a reinstall. I’ve ran into this issue in another way when I first installed it...

    Question Cannot install Windows 10 on Asus z690 Maximus Formula

    One thing that I find strange is, if I cleared the SSD why is it throwing Windows errors and BSODs? It’s like the memory didn’t reset at all. I remember that at the time the main difficulty as well was displaying the SSDs on the Bios (it wouldn’t recognize because they were knew). Some memory...

    Question Cannot install Windows 10 on Asus z690 Maximus Formula

    Mmm gotta try this first, I’m almost certain it’s not the USB, I remember this setup being the hardest Windows installation I have ever done and I wish I had documented it then so I could redo it easier. But I guess creating another media is worth the try. Thanks!

    Question Cannot install Windows 10 on Asus z690 Maximus Formula

    Thank you. I may try this. I wish I could remember what I did last time, but has been well over a year since I got this installed and I remember it took significant research and testing as well. Sucks that it seems that I will likely have to remove and clean all of the water cooling again...

    Question Cannot install Windows 10 on Asus z690 Maximus Formula

    The memory is 16gb, gonna fix the original post. The VRM I refer to is the physical space for liquid cooling to cool the motherboard. The motherboard is fine, I uninstalled it because it has been a recall on them due to galvanic corrosion. I checked mine, and followed Asus recommendation to...
