I recently built my first pc with all new parts. I tested all of the parts outside of the case and was able to post. Built the pc in the case and used the Windows 10 Download tool to create a bootable USB to install windows. I know there are no issues with the bootable usb since I tested it on another computer.
When I plug in the bootable usb and turn on the pc, it shows the motherboard board splash screen, and then shows the windows logo with the circle loading dots. Before the dots can make a complete circle the pc shuts down and restarts. Once it reaches the windows logo with loading dots it restarts again. It will continuously reboot over and over making it to the same spot. In order to stop the reboot loop I have to turn off the power supply or hold on the power button for 5 seconds.
I never make it to any screen to start the installation. I also never get any error code or anything.
Parts:
i5-6600k
Cooler Master 212 Evo
Gigabyte z170m-d3h
16GB (2x8) Corsair Vengeance LPX at 2666
240GB SSD Adata SP550
1TB Caviar Blue HDD
750W EVGA power supply
No graphics card: Waiting to see rx480 benchmarks
Things I have tried: (in no specific order)
• Removed one of the ram sticks
• Removed the HDD
• Tried the HDD without the SSD
• Tried each of the ram sticks in each of the four ram slots
• Cleared CMOS
• Tried every single usb port on the motherboard as well as front panel
• Tried three different SATA cables
• Tried all SATA ports for the SSD
• Checked CPU for bent pins
• Checked for too much thermal paste
• Tried several usb drives, both 2.0 and 3.0
