Brand new build roughly £1000

[Plec]

might order a new ssd in the meantime...

@tamzzy and i were chewing the fat - may not be the ssd.

I'm busy at the mo - and considering explaining how to make a bootable Ubuntu drive, later (or at least send you to appropriate sites). But, it may get confusing and very time consuming for both...

I'll give it some more thought - but SSD is a strong contender...

Could it be the way im downlaoding it on my laptop?

If i was to buy a new windows 10 would that change somehow

Show me the link you're using? (should be fine.)

It's only an activation key - you can use for free for ~30 days (or similar).

Going to give this vid a try and see if anythin works

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

i then use the download tool - theres a update available now i mayaswell do that and try again nothing to lose!

can i use a old bios or something like that could be worth a look, not tried that vid out yet

I wonder what Windows is trying to do just after that starting services when crash happens...

Safe mode would be handy for checking if there are errors in event viewer.
But Wintoys10 is "easy to use", so it's harder to get into safe mode when Wintoys doesn't boot in the first place...

They even included a reindeer(?)

Wise reindeer to not be in target area...

No issues there.

 

[evertonhero]

Trying again to install and thought would try windows pro or something to to mix it up...

Monitor went off then this light on mobo was lit up..

Cpu light

Restarted and then got the usual error

 

[Plec]

These lights can be misleading - but maybe worth reseating the CPU, given all you've tried and the issues you're having.

 

[evertonhero]

just updating the bios to the 1.71 beta version worth a shot

Actually, it would be better to drop back to 7B85v14 - before the new CPU support.

Remember to clear CMOS after update - the quick way, not battery.

 

[evertonhero]

can you clarify the quick way to clear cmos please

 

[Plec]

can you clarify the quick way to clear cmos please

• unplug PSU from wall
• deplete all residual power from PC by pressing case power button a few times
• then clear the CMOS by bridging the the JBAT1 pins (above and to the right of front panel header) - either using a 'jumper cap' or simply bridging the gap with a screwdriver for a few seconds.
• then remove cap after a few seconds or screwdriver
• CMOS cleared
• plug back in
• enter bios and do the usual

if i was to take my ssd to someone elses computer and install windows on it there could i just bring it back to my pc and run it?

Yes

 

[evertonhero]
