Question Aorus Ultra Won't Install Windows 10 - Help Please!

[PC4CAB]

Folks,

I am stumped, and a Google search has not yielded any results this far. Here is my situation:

I have an Aorus Ultra and Master, and I simply can not get either to load Windows 10 off a DVD Drive. I have tried a few things, such as the hot swap settings, and disabling CSM, with no luck.

Everything boots to BIOS just fine, but when installing Windows 10, it always locks up at some point during install. I've tried different RAM, different module locations, and have updated the BIOS. Nothing seems to help. The gear I'm using is as follows:

8086K
16Gb HyperX DDR4
EVGA 2080ti
Kraken Z73 AIO Cooler
Corsair Platinum 1000 watt PSU

I'm stumped. My former mobo was an ASUS Maximus XI which worked great for years, but figured I'd mix it up, and try Gigabyte for a refresh.

Any ideas what might help? Does this board not like the 8086K? In my old system, I had it reliably overclocked to 5.4GHZ with no issues (delided).

Appreciate any advice!

Thanks!

it is always possible to have a corrupt install package or corrupt media.
try burning to another disk,
try using a USB flash drive instead,
try re-downloading install package.

Thank you. I actually have an OEM disk from MSFT that I am using.

download the latest Windows 10 install package and try again.

Same issue, install hangs.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what on earth is the problem. This is now 2 Gigabyte mobos that both behave the same way.

have you tried a different storage drive for your OS?

What type of storage are you using/will be using to boot from?

try burning to another disk...

I've tried both a USB thumb drive, and a SATA based DVD drive. Neither approach lets me install windows. Somewhere between 20-70% if installing it, the process hangs.

I'm starting to think its my processor, but it did work fine in my other build.

can also be the drive you are install to that is the issue.
try running some disk diagnostic software to check the intended drive for errors.

Thanks. I have two M.2 Samsung EVOs. The OS won't install to either.... Not sure what software I can run on them, without an OS loaded.
