Question W10 may 2019 fresh install failing on AMD plateform with Ryzen 3 2200G and B450M/X370M

[strat38]

Hello,

I am trying to install w10 on 2 new set of hardware.

Set 1 is a ASrock X370M-pro4 motherboard, with a Ryzen 3 2200G APU.
Set 2 is a Gigabyte B450M-DS3H also with a Ryzen 3 2200G APU.

Using the windows media creator tool, i have a USB stick witch i am trying to use to install windows on those rigs. I tested the stick , of courxe.

On BOTH set, after booting from the UBD-ESD stick, almost immadiately after the w10 logo, i have the following error :

• Your PC needs to be repair....
• The operating system could be load beacsuse of critical system drivers ...
• Error code 0xc0000221

The install process did not even start.
No way to have the repair option, no way to insert drivers at first installation

After digging a little, i finally found this:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-update-on-computers-running-certain-amd-raid

https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-260

The fact is this is not helping !
- The so called X399 updated drivers is an EXE file, witch is used for updates, when i am FRESH INSTALLING


What am i missing here ?
Anyone with a clue.

"The install process did not even start".

That suggests to me that your PC is trying to boot normally from the HDD instead of the pen drive.

You need to bring up the Boot Device Menu (usually F11 or F12) at boot time and choose USB from the menu.
