[SOLVED] Windows not booting up

[Patrik_11]

When I was done with building my pc and got a USB with windows installation files on it I plugged it in and installed windows. It prompted me with a screen saying the pc will restart in 10 seconds. After the 10 seconds pass the pc turned off and started boot looping. Does anyone know if this can be related to windows or hardware? If yes please tell me if you know a way around this I’ve been trying to figure this out for the past 12 hours...

Have you tried to check the boot order in the BIOS? You should have your windows drive as the first boot priority.

Wait the windows drive is the usb I used to install windows?

 

[hi616]

The windows drive is the hard drive that you installed windows onto

 

[Patrik_11]

Ah ok thank you

 

[Patrik_11]

The windows drive is the hard drive that you installed windows onto

When i selected the hdd as the 1st boot priority in bios and booted up the pc this popped up

Do you have multiple hard drives in the computer?

 

[Patrik_11]

No just the one.

 

[hi616]

Are you sure you installed windows onto the hard drive?

Make sure you remove the install USB before you reboot.

There was only one option For the location of the installation

 

[hi616]

Try plugging in the windows install USB again, and see if you can install it onto your hard drive

Yeah I’ve read that somewhere but I thought it wasn't that necessary.... if that’s the reason this isn’t working...

It's probable you computer is trying to boot off your install USB again.

That actually makes sense. I’ll go put the installation files on my usb again( i deleted them when i was trying something else) and I’ll try to install windows again. I’ll tell you the results!

I hope you mean your going to the Windows Media Creation web page and re-create the install USB. https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq/how-to-do-a-clean-installation-of-windows-10.3170366/

Advise PC specs. Motherboard, GPU, PSU hdd/sdd and memory. I would go through and double check all your connections, reseat the memory and CPU. If that doesn't work, try booting with just one stick of memory.
