Windows 10 Installation not working! Asus BIOS z270

[Douglas_18]

Hi all,

I've been searching all over for answers but I have yet found it.

I just upgraded all of my parts recently and this is my new build:

Intel i7700k 4.2ghz
Asus GTX 1070
Ballistix 16gb
Asus z270
Samsung EVO 850 500gb

All of these are new, including the SSD.

I put everything together and was able to get it started. One issue is that my tower's I/O button isn't turning the computer on, I had to push the power button on the motherboard. That's not the reason why I'm here though.

I bought the Windows 10 Pro disk and tried to boot from the drive but the Asus BIOS isn't booting it up.

It recognizes the CD/DVD drive, but even when I make it priority it won't boot the installation disc - just continues to bring me directly back to BIOS. I also disabled Secure Boot and still nothing.

Anyone here with a solution? I'm thinking of just creating a bootable USB drive but not sure if that'll work either..

If it's 64 bit windows enable AHCI, secureboot and UEFI. Change the bootdisk to the dvd save settings, boot from it

if it says to press a key press a key. Does it get to the setup screen?

Whenever I restart or boot override, it just goes to the Asus logo then BIOS settings. It never enters windows setup.

I'm going to try your suggestion and update.

 

[Paul NZ]

Disable the logo in the bios. So you can see what its saying / doing

 

[Douglas_18]

Just shows the detected devices and that's about it, then BIOS again

What Asus z270 mobo???

Is the BIOS up to date on it?? If it is dont flash a beta BIOS. Theyre buggy

 

[Douglas_18]

It's the Prime z270-A.

To be honest I haven't checked to see if it's up to date. I put the computer together today and went straight to trying to install windows lol

 

[Paul NZ]

There's only one BIOS update anyway 0701

Try the mediacreation tool then see if that works.

Download the ISO. Make sure you get / install the right version of the ISO

For the version you brought

use rufus to put it on a flash drive. Since the mobo has a UEFI BIOS select GPT as the partition type in rufus before you add the ISO, then click on start. Wait for it to finish. Reboot

Change the boot drive to the flash drive in the BIOS. Save settings / boot from it

Thanks Paul, I'm gonna give it a shot. Unfortunately I don't have hands on a windows computer as I only have a MacBook.

Will update once I've tried it.

Dont think Rufus will work on a mac tho. It may or may not work if Bootcamp is on it

 

[Douglas_18]

Yup, its windows only. I'll have to get my hands on another PC. Boot camp has its own method but I think just using Rufus will be better..
