Error encountered during Windows 11 installation setup?
Error encountered during Windows 11 installation setup?
What am I missing?
I own a Corsair Vengeance I7400 Gaming PC that is experiencing multiple BSOD errors during the Windows 11 installation.
I’ve installed a new SSD, two fresh DDR5 RAM sticks, and a brand new spare RTX 3050 in hopes of resolving the issue.
However, unless it’s related to drivers, the problem seems tied to the motherboard, as it behaves consistently with these new components.
It frequently crashes right after the first Windows 11 reboot when installing on a blank USB drive.
What is the name of the motherboard?
What is the present BIOS version for the motherboard?
Which specific memory kit models are there, and are all the memory units in each kit combined in one package or are there separate DIMMs purchased that you need to install together, even if they share the same part number?
Which DIMM slots are you planning to fill? Have you tested using just one DIMM in the A2 slot?
Have you taken the CPU out to ensure there are no bent or misaligned pins on the motherboard?
Are there any problems with the BIOS if you're not attempting to install Windows?
Consider creating a bootable Linux distribution on another machine to test and rule out hardware issues.
Updated the BIOS to the latest version earlier today (E7D98IMS.B60).
No physical contact with the CPU has been made; I’m curious if pins could bend without being unlatched.
None of the BIOS component tests have shown any failures or problems.
Looks like a good plan to run the Linux installation test next.
During the Ubuntu installation, issues seem to occur and remain unresolved (refer to the image).
Can you show a photo of your system with side panel removed?

Try disabling XMP and install then.
Interestingly, I turned on XMP, which allowed me to proceed despite the issues and freezing. I'm now in the middle of setting up Ubuntu.
When starting up, several choices appear
Ubuntu
Ubuntu (graphics safe mode or similar)
Other options
Etc

The system runs a “checking disks” test, pausing for a few minutes on the specified Nvidia kernel source file.
During this time, it occasionally encountered errors.
Once, the interface displayed:
“Try Ubuntu” or “Install Ubuntu”
I selected install because it seemed logical then.
The installation process halted midway.
Next time I’ll try the “Try” option to observe the outcome.
