[SOLVED] Installing Windows 10 progress Circle Frozen

[TOMJ79]

When installing windows 10 the progress Circle freezes before it ever completes
I have tried windows 7 and 10 from disc and Windows 10 from USB ISO same outcome
Bios is working properly even tried secondary Bios ...
Has anyone ever seen or ever heard of this type of thing?

10 from disc and Windows 10 from USB ISO same outcome

if you created this disc & this USB from the same Windows 10 ISO then the problem is more than likely a corrupted image.

Grab a copy of memtest86 and put it on a flash stick.
Boot it up and let it fly....no errors allowed.

Actually I have switched out every single part from another PC. So the only two components that are left together is my CPU and Mobo.
I removed cpu, checked thermal paste, ..

A lot of the machine needs to function for memtest to run.
Since it does function and the ram passes that's good.
Look through the tutorial above and see if something jumps out at you.

Great Tutorial nothing seemed to jump out...
My progress so far....

One day my new PC on bootup, froze at the progress circle
So I put the Windows 10 install disc in and it froze as well ...so i switched CDROMs and got the same thing, even tried the same disc and both CDROMs on my other old pc and they booted into windows install screen just fine

Then I tried on the new broke pc. Windows 10 USB ISO and got the same half a circle freeze...

I then proceeded to switch out every single part of the new pc so now i am running on the old pc with all the components from the new one so they are working well.

Now on the New Broke PC,

That just leaves mobo/ cpu, i checked, thermal paste is still fresh...tried one stick of ram in each slot same outcome.
Ive tried multiple hard drives and ssds even deleted the OS from the original SSD ...

Check cpu temperature.
Check cpu socket for bent/ broken pins.

have you tried another OS on this same system, such as Linux?

and when you are installing Windows have you actually used the latest Media Creation Tool directly from Microsoft with a known functioning USB flash drive?

 

[TOMJ79]

both cd rom drives and USB are functioning on my old pc ...but i will re install the lastest windows 10 ISO i guess and after that try Linux
Thanks That had not crossed my mind....

 

[JohnBonhamsGhost]

i will re install the lastest windows 10 ISO

you should let the Media Creation Tool do all of the downloading & begin the install process on it's own.
not just use a downloaded ISO to create your own installer.
