Issue with new system. Restarts upon USB booting.
Hello,
I've just set up a new system and am facing some issues with it starting up. When attempting to boot the USB drive for installation (Windows 10), it immediately restarts after the Windows logo appears. I've also encountered a blue screen during the machine check at the install media.
I've checked RAM one stick at a time, and currently three out of four passes through memtest86 without any errors. When using a SATA drive from another PC with Windows 10 already installed, the system restarts until it displays "entering recovery mode" before freezing on that screen.
The Mobo has been updated to the latest firmware. An RMA replacement CPU was received; it shows visible scuffs on the metal cover in the sealed package, but the new one functions identically. I've turned off Secure Boot and enabled legacy/UEFI mode.
I attempted to create installation media using Rufus and the MS Media Creation Tool, but nothing is overclocked. It's possible the motherboard is faulty. I'm uncertain what else to test or adjust in the BIOS.
Details:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B660M DS3H DDR4
- RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800)
- GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3060

The USB flash drive isn't a bootable device, so it launches the system's boot drive instead.
