[SOLVED] New build freezes after windows install

[randonr04]

So, around 6 months ago, I built my first ever pc. Pc turned on, I could boot into the bios fine, and it let me download windows with a creation tool USB. When it tried booting into windows, it would get stuck at the Strix splash screen with the rotating dots. My cursor would still move but nothing would happen. I ended up putting windows 8 on it then upgraded to W10, and it worked perfectly fine. Long story short, I sold some parts of the pc, and I kept the cpu(r7 1700), the hdd(2tb seagate barracuda) and the ram(adata xpg 16 gn.) I built a new pc with the same 3 parts, and the issue happened again. It let me download windows, bios was fine, but it gets stuck at the dots. I would probably work if I did the same thing as last time, but it pisses me off that there’s no other way to make it work. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, what did you do to fix it?

So it lets you install win 10 but it won't boot into it afterwards?

that seems odd, is the ssd the 1st item in the boot order

Although this isn't your motherboard, makers are evil. On the B boards, the bios instructions can be limited to brief description, on the X boards they are way longer so I link that here - in case its handy for me alter - https://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards/PRIME-X470-PRO/HelpDesk_QVL/ - I was looking to see if there was a priotrity boot menu.

Well, the only way i was enabled to install win 10 was the same way as randon. First win 8.1 and then update to win 10 pro. Tested all the parts with programs and in other pc:s and everything worked fine. Maybe there is something to do with motherboards bios... dunno, but its working now!
