Not to happy I had to wait 24 hours just to use this forum, but I am hoping someone has some info that may help. And now I have been without my pc for a week. I have tried every geek trick in the book that I know and could find on google.

I have removed all peripherals and tried to boot up that way. I have removed the RTX video card to get to the bios battery to remove it and uplug the pc to hold the power button for 30 seconds.

I used the same USB disk to install a fresh copy of Windows on my ASUS laptop with no problem. So I removed my Hard Disk all together and put a new one in and tried to install a fresh copy of windows 10 Becuase I can't get into windows or even in safemode of windows. These are the Stop codes that I received.Īnd I have googled all of them and since most of them need you to get into windows to run scan disk checks and memory diagnostics, I can't fix them. I am not sure if a windows update had just happened and caused it to crash or not. I wasn't doing any editing on my videos software or anything major. My PC hit the blue screen of death out of no where. You can check your hard drive in the bios under the 'advanced' menu to make sure it's detected, otherwise, re-check the cables and the drive, or maybe stick back your original hard drive to confirm the USB drive boots in this situation at least (you can just quit the installation at this point of course and try to figure out what is going on with your other hard drive). If the boot menu and bios recognize your USB drive, it could be that no hard drives are detected by the system, or Windows doesn't recognize the partitions (you didn't have Linux on there before did you? You may need to delete all the partitions or reformat the hard drive to NTFS and try it again).

Notebooks use 'ESC' for the boot menu, but desktops use 'F8', so if you want to see the boot menu, use 'F8', but you can just set the boot priority in the bios too. I held esc and chose the boot device - held F2 went into bios and launched from boot menu and yes I have made the USB the first boot device. I even installed Windows 10 from the same usb device on a different Asus PC without any problem.
