Hello, this was brought to our attention by a user on Bleeping Computer who couldn't fix the problem. We own a Gigabyte motherboard and are having trouble getting Windows to start. Here’s the troubleshooting thread we used: "Windows won’t load on Gygabyte - Page 5 - Windows Crashes and Blue Screen of Death" (bleepingcomputer.com). Any advice would be helpful!

Okie doke, checked the thread and here are my queries: 1. Is the USB 3.0 or 2.0 and does it use NTFS or FAT32? 2. Do you have another Windows machine? 3. Is "boot from USB" turned on in BIOS? 4. Do you own a flash drive bigger than 16gb?

USB 3.0 and NTFS support are active; booting from USB is turned on in BIOS, and we can access the drive via Gigabyte setup menu. We purchased a 16GB flash drive for this use, but a larger capacity is available if needed.

I can locate the screen displaying Gigabyte at the top with tabs labeled M.I.T. System BIOS peripherals chipset power and save & exit. I haven't encountered a term called M.I.T. System Bios before; if you meant something else, let me know. Are you referring to checking system partitions on an MBR drive, ensuring the CMOS battery is fresh, or confirming BIOS settings? Also, does your PC maintain accurate date and time during sleep?

The PC was bought from someone, so I'm uncertain if the battery was ever changed. Not in our recent past year. Indeed, time appears accurate. Below are some images if that would be useful. The M.I.T., "System," "Bios," "Peripherals," "Chipset," etc., are all tabs.

I'm a family member assisting with this matter. The previous version of Windows functioned properly on this machine. The problem began after it stopped working, which was reported to bleepingcomputer. I don't understand what a "GPT drive" refers to. We haven't changed the CMOS battery at all; we bought it from someone and it operated well for over a year with Windows. It accurately keeps track of date and time even when left on overnight.

GPT supports multiple logical sections on a single storage device. CMOS cells are inexpensive yet functional if the clock remains stable. A USB bootable drive works best with FAT32 formatting. You don’t require an oversized device; a standalone Windows installation stays under 6GB in total. Drives with 8GB or more, especially those needing NTFS (due to large file sizes not fitting FAT32), are referred to as Windows All In One (WAIO).

CSM compatibility is turned off. Your USB boot uses UEFI only. You may need to download a specific ISO for it to work. Option: Turn on CSM support, switch to legacy mode, and keep it enabled, while disabling Secure Boot.
