Windows startup issues!
Windows startup issues!
When issues continue despite full boot formats and clean installations, the problem likely lies with the hardware. Obtain the newest BIOS from your motherboard maker and install it on your BIOS. Ensure you reset everything to factory defaults—don’t just revert to defaults. Next, test individual components one by one to pinpoint the fault. Most probable sequence: Boot drive → BIOS/Motherboard → Memory → CPU
A thumb drive is merely a detachable USB storage device. It’s just small and uses a particular kind of storage format. You should handle it like any other drive. Run the Windows installer on it. It seems this might not work well, possibly indicating the issue isn’t with the drive itself but with the data inside. For example, it needs to be formatted as NTFS, which is common for thumb drives.
This appears to be a CMOS clear, not a BIOS reflash. I’m not sure what an MSR partition is—possibly something Windows uses. Linux likely won’t care about it. It might be related to a Linux Live CD and you could wipe the drive before installing Windows. You should also be able to do this from CMD. Could be a Samsung 980; there seem to be issues that require a firmware update. I don’t have the full details. Would this be an MBR error?
There’s a lot of detail in these posts, but sometimes it helps to follow the steps naturally. Use an empty USB drive and use the Windows setup instructions on the website. Stick with the standard settings—you won’t make mistakes. While the machine is powered off at the power supply unit, take out all drives except the one you want for your OS. This ensures the operating system only installs on the correct drive. Once the system is back on and connected via the USB stick, remove every partition from that single drive. Click the next option in the bottom-right corner to continue. If asked what to do, choose the default—there’s no harm in doing so. The software will create the needed partitions and format them automatically. Go with the default again. There’s no need to overthink the formatting choices. Just let the installation tool handle it. Some users prefer making every decision themselves, but understanding that more choices can lead to errors is better than risking mistakes. Use the KISS rule: Keep it simple, stick with the default, and let the process run smoothly.
The update went smoothly and installed everything required for Windows. During the reboot to complete setup, the system displayed a blue screen with the error message: whea_uncorrectable_error.
Attempt to launch BIOS before Windows starts. A prompt should appear right after powering on. It often says [delete], though this changes. The motherboard guide will clarify. I dislike Armory Crate. Updated Feb 15, 2023 by Bombastinator
After entering the BIOS, you should follow the on-screen instructions to configure your system settings, update firmware if necessary, and ensure proper boot options are set.
It’s a trial. If you manage to enter the bios, your card remains intact. The issue seems to stem from some unnecessary data corrupting everything. Determine the source of the load and clear it. The installer likely needed to be on a specific platform. It could have been just instructions to download the item. Then review the whole process once more.
