I Built A New Pc, Windows 10 Installation Issues

[tim_tom]

Build Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 2200g
GPU: EVGA Superclocked GTX 1050ti
PSU: EVGA 400w
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-AB350M-DS3H
RAM: DDR4 8gb RAM by Patriot Memory Signature Line


I’ve been having issues with Windows 10 installation on this brand new PC build. When I first tried to install the OS, I got to the installation menu, but when it got to the part where it asked me where to install the OS (Which Drive), the computer froze. So, I shut down the computer and booted it up again. I booted from USB, as I did before, and the Windows 10 logo came up. The loading circle appeared under the logo, spinning for a few seconds, but then, the screen goes black, the pc is still on, by the way. I waited for about 4 hours for anything to happen, but nothing did. I kept on trying to boot from the usb, but I am never able to reach the screen that says “install now,” or the installation menu. It just turns black when I boot after the logo. I have been working on this for 3 weeks now, seeing no help on the internet. I am worried that I might have half installed it on the hard drive, but I don’t recall ever being able to start the actual installation of the OS. Hopefully somebody can help me on this forum.
Thanks in advance.

New PC, installation issues, yet you don't list which drive(s) you have in this system.
Enlighten us, please.

Sorry about that, I have one HDD installed into the pc, it is a Western Digital Blue 1tb Hard Disk Drive, no other drives.

Start the install over.
When it gets to the part of Where, select Custom.
Delete ALL existing partitions, and proceed on.

Sorry, but I am not capable of reaching any part of the installation process, I was only able to do it once, not anytime after

So what, exactly, happens when you boot up from your install USB?

Possibly you have a broken USB?
Create a new one.

When I boot from the USB, I get the Windows 10 logo, with a loading circle under it, once it is loading after a few seconds, the screen turns black and nothing happens. There is still power being sent into the PC however.

Try a different USB stick, or a different USB port.
