[SOLVED] BSOD during Windows install to my SSD

[Kdevlin]

The BSOD always comes up in the 2nd part of the install, right after it copy's the files. I am installing from a USB. The BSOD says something about FAT files, memory management, and IQRL.

Where did you get your install media? https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq/how-to-do-a-clean-installation-of-windows-10.3170366/ Are there any other drives connected besides the install media and target drive? Is the BIOS set to default?

The install media is the windows creation media. The only USB plugins are the keyboard, mouse, wifi adapter, and the flashdrive. I don't know about the BIOS, but I haven't changed anything. I have an HDD but it isn't plugged in, only the SSD.

Remove the wifi adapter while installing Windows.

I took out the adapter and got a blue screen saying Cache Manager upon trying to install windows

Did you take out the adapter before you started the install process? Also, try making another USB and try other USB ports.

Does it matter if it is in a USB 2 or 3?

Sometimes USB 2 works when USB 3 does not.

When I am selecting the boot device should it be the USB with my flash drives name? Or the EUFI with my flash drives name?

The device usually doesn't make a difference. The MS Media Creator will make a USB that can be used on either UEFI or MBR/ Legacy. It's the port on the PC that makes a difference.

I have tried in different ports, and im still getting BSOD, it's a different error each time.

Is this the first time you have tried to use this SSD? What brand, type size SSD is it. NVME or sata/Nand

No, I took my PC to a repair guy because I have been having BSOD problems forever with this thing. He said it may be because of how windows was installed (all of it wasn't on the SSD). Its a Patriot Burst 120GB SATA.

So your PC has been having BSOD issues, so you are trying to reinstall Windows on your ssd? This may have nothing to do either the ssd or the Windows install. I would try using only one stick of memory, other wise it's likely another hardware problem; possibly a bad Power Supply.

When it still had a warranty I sent it in for an RMA, said no problems. Took it to the computer repair place, no hardware problems, just a couple of outdated drivers that, he said, MAY have been causing the problem. I'm honestly just so lost on what to do, but I need an OS now and it won't install.

It's possible your Computer Repair guy was wrong. If you were getting BSOD with this ssd, it could be the ssd that is failing. Other than that, because of the preexisting issues, the cause could be a number of things, including a motherboard issue. I would try another drive.

Should I install it to my HDD then?

 

[onespeedbiker]

It's certainly worth a try.

It's certainly worth a try.

I tried again with the HDD and got a System Service Exception BSOD

It's certainly worth a try.

I took out one of the RAM sticks and it started working😂
