Question BSOD on New PC Build ?

[bronzekite]

I built a PC about three weeks ago that was functioning well until it recently got stuck in a repair loop. It goes from a 'preparing automatic repair' screen, turns off and on, and every few cycles will show a windows blue screen for a few seconds with a 'PHASE1_INITIALIZATION-FAILED' stop code before starting the cycle over again.

I am at a loss about what the issue is and how to fix anything. I don't know if I have a compatibility issue or hardware issue or what. I have attempted to boot a USB with Windows on it in order to do a fresh re-install but I cannot get the USB to boot, even when I use F11 upon starting to direct boot to the USB, nothing happens. I am at a loss. I was considering wiping my SSD because the computer is so new and I wouldn't lose anything, but at this point I don't think that would solve anything.

Specs
Motherboard: MSI B550 A Pro
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800 XT
GPU: Asus RTX 3060 12GB
RAM: (2 x 16GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 - 3600 CL18
Storage: 1TB Western Digital Black SN770 NVMe SSD
PSU: Corsair RM 850x

Are you able to get into Safe Mode? Give this guide a whirl;

You might want to go into BIOS and manually set the primary boot device as your bootable USB installer and see if that helps.

Thank you for replying!

I followed the steps in the video but that screen does not appear. It just follows the same re-start sequence.

I have also gone into the BIOS and manually set the USB but that also never changes the start sequence. I also made a Rufus USB in addition to the windows installer, and when I F11 boot that, it is the only thing that has resulted in any change to the start sequence at all. And that change being a screen that shows up for about 0.5 seconds before going back to the same sequence.

The screen has a bunch of [INFO] sequence lines and one [WARN] line,
[WARN] Unloading existing 'AMI NTFS Driver v0x10000'

you might look at the bugs reported for the bios firmware for the ami ntfs driver v 0x10000

or just look to see if there is a bios update for your machine.

bug workaround (maybe)
