Hello this is my first PC build. I’ve been trying to install Windows 10 on this new computer I built and it randomly freezes and never quits and I never even make it to the installation screen. Furthest I went was “preparing files for installation” and it freezes. I’m using the Windows 10 installer on a usb drive. All the lights are on in my case and everything. Nothing seems abnormal. The motherboard I’m using only has 2 fan slots, and I used both for the water cooler. So I don’t have any other stock coolers running, just the 2 fans on top of the radiator and the 2 fans on the gpu. I know I’m new to this and I hope it doesn’t sound too dumb, but is that mainly the problem why it’s freezing? Not enough airflow? I left the front panel off the case and its always cool in my room, is that still not enough? Or do you think anything else? Anyways I guess I have no idea what I’m doing after all. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
