Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster.
I’ll start from the beginning. I was an idiot and flashed the BIOS on my ASUS z170. It bricked. Learned my lesson.
Bought an MSI MPG Z390. At this point I had the new MSI, i7-6700k, 16 (2x8)gb Vengeance, 980ti. It wouldn’t even get past POST.
Bought new RAM, 2x8 Vengeance and a new iCue Corsair Case. Still wouldn’t get past POST.
Returned the MSI and got a new one same model, bought an i9-9900k and a new 750w Corsair PSU, and a new Corsair heatsink and finally got past POST and into BIOS.
So, the entire build is new. I try to boot to USB installation media and every time it gets to that first blue screen, it shuts off and resets in an endless loop. The bios displays the CPU and RAM properly with no overheating.
This is what I’ve done so far:
-Tried RAM in every slot.
-Built Mobo outside of case
-disconnected anything not necessary for OS install
-redownloaded the installation media several times
-checked all connections thoroughly
-banged my head on wall
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
