Question Problem Installing Windows 11 Pro on MSI x870e Carbon

[DuaneWhitney]

I'm having a problem installing windows 11 pro on a new build with:

MSI x870e Carbon
Ryzen 9950x
Corsair vengence 2x32 ram
WD SN850x m2
WD Black 10 TB hard drive (2x)
NZXT 360 kracken cpu cooler

I installed windows with a usb drive (retail pro 11). When it reboots, I get the MSI logo and then the windows logo--asks for region, keyboard, looks for updates, asks to assign computer name. After that, it reboots and eventually gets stuck with a code 35.

I've flashed the latest BIOS from msi (december 2024). It's connected to my internet router through a hard line, so shouldn't have problems there. I'm using integrated graphics, so no gpu.

Any suggestions on what I can do to debug or fix the problem are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Duane.

So you have an internet connection while installing?

Try the whole new install process without internet connection

Please try updating your BIOS first then kindly post your results. Cheers.

Unusual that a recent mobo should need a bios update to install 11 pro ??

This morning I disconneded the SATA drives and it installed with no issues. Was probably looking for drivers?
