Hello, newbie here.
Backstory first then straight to the issue.
Friend of mine approached me to build him a gaming PC. After much debating he gave me a list had everything delivered to mine and I got on and built it.
Specs below:
MSI MPG Z390 GAMING PRO CARBON
Intel Core i7-8700K
MSI GeForce RTX 2080
M.2 SSD
sandisk SSD
AIO cooler and some fans in a nice little corsair case.
Looks good, but,
From what he told me a windows update was being carried out and once it restarted and carried on updating it got stuck at 'Please wait, 35% updating' (along those lines)
But always 35%.
So after getting the same result I produce a media USB tried to boot in safe mode. Fail
So if I cant load windows, or even boot into safe mode I tried repair disk, start up repair. Fail
Ok, screw it, delete everything start from fresh. CMD - Clean disks.
Ok install windows. Fail.
WHAT?
Reformat the drives. then reinstall... FAIL
Maybe this is a disk issue. Brand new M.2 SSD swapped in.
Install Windows - Complete. Finally. Restart.
Please wait 35%...
Youve got to be kidding me.
This motherboard has remembered.
Has anyone had this experience and has anyone got a clue what this phantom board is doing?
I tried resetting the motherboard by taking out the battery, waiting 10 mins.
removed all the SSDs
removed GPU (need access to M.2)
So apart from snapping the board in half I cant find a fix...
Any help much appreciated!
