Yellow light on motherboard for dram AND cpu.

[PeterOz]

Does it stay on that screen or does it go further?

[Mr_Rosy]

Okay once I went past it it showed me the Aorus menu.

[PeterOz]

I’m going to press ok

You missed that bit in post #56

Okay once I went past it it showed me the Aorus menu.

As in the BIOS menu?

[Mr_Rosy]

I tried to take a photo but my laptop is broken and the chrombook I’m using has an awful camera.

[Mr_Rosy]

I believe so, I’m not sure what its called, its showing me my CPU stats and memory stats, along with my fans, bandwith and settings.

[PeterOz]

That is bios.

1. Do you have a windows 10 usb stick to boot from?
2. Do you have the drivers on the same usb or another usb stick.

If you have the above
The next step is to save the current bios
Boot from the win 10 usb
install win 10
install drivers
THEN connect to the internet.
I will give instructions once you answer 1 & 2

I have a bag of flash drives that are 512mb with USB 2.0, but I dont have anything on them. I’ve never done a Windows or driver installation before, so I have no clue what I’m doing

[Mr_Rosy]

Yes I do.

[PeterOz]

Do you have access to another windows computer

[Mr_Rosy]

Um, I could borrow my brothers? I’m pretty sure it runs windows, bc its a laptop I think it came preinstalled.

[PeterOz]

You will need access to a Windows computer.
You will need .

1. Read this and ask any questions BEFORE you start.
2. Use a USB 2.0 stick if possible for best results. Black end)

Reinstall Win 10 Fresh Install

Make sure you only have the one (1) drive you want to install windows on connected.

Download the win 10 tool run it to recreate the flash drive – Must be minimum 8GB

Download Windows 10

Watch this video
How To Install Windows 10 From USB - YouTube
In the video at 2:54 you will notice it restarts the computer.
When you are doing this and you get to that point Remove the usb stick whilst it is restarting.
Also if you want to setup a local account instead of logging in with a Microsoft account
Turn off your wireless network and or remove the network cable.
This point is 3.32 in the video - Choose I don’t have internet.
If you want to log in with a Microsoft account then leave the network as is.

Before doing any install, it is a good idea to go to the support page for your system. Download the drivers you are going to need i.e. chipset, sound, video, wireless, etc. Whilst Win10 has a lot of native drivers, Microsoft drivers are designed for ease of use and are NOT designed for any type of performance. Store these drivers on another usb or you can even just make a folder on your install usb when you are finished making the install usb. Copy the drivers into that folder.

When you are finished with the Windows install, then install your drivers.

Reboot after installing the drivers
YOU WILL NOT NEED THE BIOS DRIVERS FROM THIS SITE.

rule 2 If in doubt ask

[PeterOz]

SO from where you are now
You would use F10 to save and exit the bios.
When you have made the win 10 usb with the drivers
You plug it into one of the black usb ports on the back of the computer.
You boot the computer and press F12 to get the boot menu.
You pick the usb to boot from
and follow the above

[Mr_Rosy]

Okay, I will work on that.

[Mr_Rosy]

Wait why am I installing windows 10 and not 11? and also how do I know which drivers to pick from on the motherboard website? Also I’ll check if I have an 8 GB or more thumb drive but I’m not sure.
