Question Can't install Windows - the PC doesn't restart during the procedure..

[ravv]

My PC has been having boot and restart problems so I decided to try and re-install Windows.

The problem is that I can't complete the installation because the PC won't restart towards the end of the install operation - so all I get is a black screen.

I have just installed a more powerful PSU so it's not that. I have a new motherboard too.

Does anyone think I need to try a number of different BIOS's, to see if any one of them fixes the issue? Or is it something else?

If I clear CMOS and reboot I can get into CMD and the BIOS.

You said you have a new motherboard, is this when you ran into the problem> What motherboard and cpu?

Yes I was troubleshooting, and thought it might be hardware. I don't believe the new motherboard is the source of the problems. I now have an Asus Z790-A II. The CPU is Intel Core i7-14700K.
