BSOD loop

Status
Not open for further replies.
I upgraded my CPU and motherboard to Ryzen 5800x and aorus b450 elite a few days ago. After completing the build and turning the PC on I got a blue screen, disconnected the power cable and booted again. It worked, got into windows, all worked fine, put my PC into sleep mode and it worked fine the next day aswell. After restarting my computer I got stuck in another BOSD loop, disconnected my power cable a few times and managed to get back to windows, at this point I thought it was my Windows causing problems, since I hadnt done a clean install after upgrading. On the third day the BOSD loop got even worse, took me 10+ tries to get into Windows, I finally decided to reinstall Windows using the built in reset function on Windows 10. As soon as the PC restarted for Windows install I got a blue screen so the install canceled. After that I completely disconnected my main (the drive the drive that Windows installed) and only pluged in an empty drive and a memory stick, still constant BOSD loop.



Ryzen 7 5800x

Aorus B450 Elite

Kingston HyperX 16GB RAM

RTX 3060 Ti

750W PSU



The weird part is that once I managed to finally load into Windows everything was 100% working, no shutting down or BOSD or anything.
 
My Guess wrong chipset and windows drivers
Then download the windows 10 tool – Minimum 8gig USB required

https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10

and use that to reinstall windows.

Have only one drive connected

*** NB A reinstall will delete all data from the drive***


Here is an excellent youtube video on how to install win 10 from usb

How To Install Windows 10 From USB - YouTube

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 ie chipset, sound, video, wireless, etc. While 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 install, then install your drivers. Install the chipset first then the rest of them. Reboot each time when prompted.

Cant reinstall windows, I bluescreen before I can even start the install and even If I manage to start it, as soon as the update makes the PC restart im stuck in another BOSD loop
 
When you boot from usb you still BSOD?
Select boot from usb
****NB this will wipe all data from the drive****
Boot from Win 10 install usb
When you get to the startup screen (pic attached)
Press Shift + F10 key
you should get a X:> prompt
What is in blue you type in red you do
e.g Enter press enter key

Diskpart enter
list disk
enter
Select disk n
enter (n=the disk you wish to clean)
clean
enter
exit
enter
exit enter
can you continue with the install now ?
