Installation fails on USB drive; screen remains blank.
Installation fails on USB drive; screen remains blank.
I first attempted it but it didn't function, however when I tried on a different machine it worked. After reviewing it again, the PC detected a change and prompted me to proceed with setup, which led to normal values appearing. Then I selected the UEFI option, but it caused the screen to go black now, preventing me from opening it again.
this is a newly pc with no windows 10 installed so im just trying but can't
Sure, I'll try to clarify things for you. At the moment, I didn't grasp what you were saying, and it seems unrelated to a monitor.
I'm sorry, I don't fully understand the problem. I'll try to explain it clearly. Initially, the setup didn't function properly on a Ryzen 3200G with DVI-D when I tried several times. Later, I tested it on another PC with an Intel 5 9400 and everything worked—both integrated so I knew the cable and display were fine. Then I tried it again on my original PC, but it didn't boot to Windows 10 via USB because the OS wasn't installed yet on the HDD. Instead, it only showed two options: either use the setup or select a normal value, which I chose to get more choices. After that, four options appeared, and I couldn't remember what the other three were. I selected the one going to UEFI. Then I went to BIOS to set up booting from USB so I could install Windows, restarted, but again I got a black screen.
I bypassed the previous PC test and moved straight to the main setup. I removed the CMOS for a short time to check the display, then reinserted it to see if the BIOS recognized it as an integrated device—found it listed under PCIe. Next, I went to boot mode so I could install Windows 10 on my HDD via USB. However, after saving and restarting, it didn’t boot properly, even though the USB worked on another machine. The system was running Ryzen 3200G Msi A320 A Pro with a 2x8GB HyperX 2666MHz RAM, which should have changed to 3200 MHz but not to 500GB Seagate storage.
I searched for fixes but couldn't locate any. I tried removing the CMOS briefly to access BIOS, which showed the integrated chip is on PEG or PCIe. I switched it to integrated mode but after installing Windows via USB it freezes and won't boot. I used a DVI display since I don’t have an HDMI monitor. Someone tested it in-store and confirmed it works with HDMI and normal Windows boot. Spec: Ryzen 3200G MSI A320M A Pro 2x8 GB HyperX 2666 500GB Seagate.
Did you activate F2 on your keyboard? Was UISB chosen as the boot medium? Assuming CMOS is intact. PEG refers to PCI Express Graphics. After saving your configuration and restarting, did the display appear as expected?
Check the CPU or GPU first. If you didn't modify them, the BIOS might not have saved properly—this could be due to a faulty battery or a bad chip. Try pressing F2 to keep going. The BIOS will look for a drive that can boot and load your OS, even if settings were lost.
