Okay so… I’m going to list everything that happened here.
I put my PC together and it just worked. The PC booted up and I got to the screen to install Windows 10. However it couldn’t detect any of the storage drivers. I spent around 10 minutes trying different SATA ports and hard drives but none of them would get detected. Then when I looked online I read something about changing your storage to ‘RAID’ so I went got into the bios and changed the storage from AHCI to RAID. It then just froze at my motherboards ‘MPG’ logo screen.
After some messing around, I took a stick of ram out and instead of freezing it put me back into the bios. I put storage back on AHCI and restarted. However it still freezes at the MPG logo. Sometimes it doesn’t even give me a logo and just goes to a black screen. It was then that I realized I forgot to plug in my liquid cooler attached to the CPU. There were a few fans on though. But now I’m worried about quite a few things like if it’s actually possible for my CPU to overheat too much after 45ish minutes of bios and windows install trial and error. Or if I just screwed something up changing AHCI to RAID and that’s that.
Here are all the components for my PC:
CPU: Intel Core i5-10600K 4.1 GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI ATX LGA1200 Motherboard
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Power Supply: Corsair RM (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX
Cooler: Corsair iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX
I haven’t even put my graphic card in yet and just wanted to get Windows 10 going before I did anything with that. I haven’t been able to install any software yet either if that wasn’t obvious.
