Hi guys! I found this community and it seems super helpful, so I am posting my first question about my new pc here.
I built my pc a few days ago, and when I turn it on all fans are spinning, and the lights on the liquid cpu cooler, graphics card, and motherboard are on.
The monitor's hdmi cable is connected to the graphics card. I can start the pc, use the keyboard and mouse and go into the bios fine. I made a bootable usb for windows 10, and when I select it as the device to boot from, I get a screen with a windows logo and spinning dots for a few seconds, or a Gigabyte: Insist on Ultra Durable screen with spinning dots for a few seconds, depending on if I use sandisk or sandisk partition 1 UEFI, then it freezes with a random amount of dots, and I am unable to continue with windows installation.
I made sure the RAM sticks were occupying both a2 and b2, then I switched them, left each alone in the a2 slot on different tries and then tried this again with two other different ram sticks, but the same problem kept happening.
I also made another bootable usb, disconnected and reconnected my ssd, hdd, graphics card, motherboard power cable, and cpu power cable but the problem is still happening.
Is this a common windows issue? If not, I would be happy to post all of my pc parts and provide more information. Any advice to fix this would be greatly appreciated!
