Hello.
I am trying to build new computer having ASUS Prime Z270 A motherboard. I downloaded and created USB Windows boot disk.
I went into the UEFI, set up Boot option 1 this USB disk and restarted.
First thing what shows up is blue screen with Error code: 0xc000000f and under option
Enter to try again
F8 for Startup Setting
Esc for UEFI Firmware Setting.

Last option (ESC for UEFI) is the only one which works, so I can get back to UEFI. Tryed to read some of the old threads here on this site but cant find the way how to fix this.

how many drives attached? remove any extra while you install win 10, including external drives.

so it didn't even try to install? Try some of the suggestions here: https://www.tenforums.com/installation-upgrade/81426-clean-install-cant-boot-error-0xc000000f.html

Often I find errors during install can be RAM so try running memtest86 on your ram sticks. Any errors are too many, only score you want is 0. Run it on 1 stick at a time. It creates a bootable USB so don't need win 10 to run it. If you get any errors, remove stick and try again. Stick will need to be replaced.
