Windows 10 instal hangs

[rare]

Ah I see. How very weirdly.

I suggest you to try Live11 to see if you can boot Windows 11 from USB live image directly from RAM without install Windows 11.

It is weird. I’m going to try with another 5600x on Friday and if that doesn’t work, I’m certain it’s the board. I’m certain it’s the board anyway. The ram is brand new Kingston 3600 C16, and I’ve tried both sticks individually. I would be amazed if both sticks were somehow faulty, and even then I can’t see why they would cause that with the bios.

I want to install windows 10 on it ideally, as the whole point is it’s for testing loads of old GPU’s I’ve been collecting for a while. Some of them are quite old and don’t have windows 11 drivers.

Would this not be fault codes not CPU temps?

What are the numbers being shown?

Debug code table start from page 49 in the manual.

I don’t think so, the board goes through post and then is trying to load/finish the windows installation, at which point the board shouldn’t be showing any changing fault codes (beyond post).

Windows 11 can use old Windows 10 drivers just fine, there is no reason to install Windows 10. I have USB microscope with Windows 10 latest 64 bit driver dated 2008, it worked fine with Windows 11! My USB microscope did not have Windows 11 driver.

So you can testing loads of old GPUs with Windows 11 with old Windows 10 drivers just fine.

Yes I am certain it is MSI motherboard. It certain possible to boot Live11 to change weird year 25523 date to 2023 on Windows 11 3 methods throught new settings, old control panel and command prompt.

I got an idea after watched your video, I googled BIOS version E7C35AMS and found it is beta BIOS.

I think seller flashed old beta BIOS E7C35AMS.AF0 with bugs that caused weird date 25523 or flashed wrong BIOS that was meant to be used on MPG X570 GAMING PLUS.
The latest BIOS should be correct version 7C35vAF.
It worth a try to boot Live11 to see if you can install and run MSI CENTER to download and flash BIOS to latest version. Also try to download APTIO V AMI AFUEFI flash tool to flash latest BIOS under EFI Shell.

If every efforts failed then it probably best to post on MSI forum for help on your issue and maybe someone or administrator will send you a new beta BIOS to flash new BIOS to get weird year date bug fixed.

When you download the very latest bios
from MSI it’s labelled in the zip folder as E7C35AMS, which is weird. But I’ve double checked it. Unless I’m going mad.

Ahh I see, folder contained E7C35AMS.AF0 hmmm that explained everything. What a very confusion mess!

Guess latest BIOS is bugged mess, you could try flash old BIOS version 7C35vAE with BIOS file E7C35AMS.AE0 to see if you can change date properly from 25523 to 2023.
