all my buttons do what they meant to so must be uk set up so ill just check it to uk then?

That is the logical thing to do.

i have tried all methods of reinstalling,it gets so far then fails

What error do you get, when install/update fails?

Check health of your drives. They might be faulty and that's why update is failing.
Use HDtune health, post screenshot.

 

[funkman4]

ok,im doing this clean install now,so see how that goes,no doubt ill be back

 

[funkman4]

skynetrising can i do what you say on the free trial of hdtune?

 

[funkman4]

i have to go into bios to set boot from usb,im correct in saying only way to do this is restart pc hit delete and it takes me to bios page yeah?

skynetrising can i do what you say on the free trial of hdtune?

Use free version (v 2.55).

ok.so i restarted pc,pressed delete to get into bios set 1st boot device to removable,2nd to cd rom,3rd to my hard drive, pressed save and exit and it proceeds to start up windows.
whats that all about?

 

[Colif]

well, lets see. BIOS is legacy only (doesn't support GPT, doesn't have secure boot). Installer can work on legacy so not problem.
i found one recently where they couldn't install win 10 from USB but no answer.
try usb 2 slots on back of pc?

 

[funkman4]

ok im going to try usb slot on back of pc

 

[funkman4]

ok shutdown pc started,but i didnt go into BIOS this time,i didnt need to did i?
windows has loaded up

 

[funkman4]

ok so i have started pc again went into BIOS and disabled cdrom and sata so only removable device left,proceeds to start then i get message "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

 

[Colif]

How did you make the USB? Its not seeing the USB as a boot device.
Did you use Media creation tool to make it?

 

[Colif]

i have to go, its um... 6.30am, I want to get some sleep... I will look later

 

[funkman4]

yes,used media creation tool just like the instructions in the link you sent me

 

[funkman4]

it has worked,im amazed! hehe
turns out i needed to select the usb stick,i thought when it said recovery device that was the usb stick,but when i pressed enter on recovery device i could choose the sandisk usb.whoooohoooooooooo.thank you all
new motherboard my ass!
