Issues with installing Windows 10 on a fresh system.
Issues with installing Windows 10 on a fresh system.
Last week my computer powered off unexpectedly and attempted an automatic fix, which forced me to leave work until I returned home. I ended up performing a complete Windows reinstall because it felt necessary. Now I’m stuck in a cycle of reboots—either getting trapped in restart loops or clicking install repeatedly. After some troubleshooting, I realized the issue might be with overheating or a dead drive, so I replaced my old M.2 SSD with a new Samsung 980 Pro. It worked after removing the thermal pad, which had been overlooked during the initial setup. All other systems seem normal.
