Hi all Iv made a bootable sub with Windows 10 on and I cannot get it to install. I have a gigabyte z97x sli motherboard.

I select boot from usb in boot menu and then a blue screen with error pops up
Any ideas

To add Iv just built the system today. Tried to install Windows 7 from DVD e and that brings up blue bsod. Now I have no clue with the new gigabyte UEFI. I may tomorrow try and make a bootable Windows 8 usb as I also have a key for that.

Little stressed I am!
 
I don't have another computer to do memtest or HDD diagnostic.

As I say only built it yesterday when all arrived from Ocuk.

I shall make sure all is plugged in for power and double check all connections.
I will also report back with the error message.

specs and error message from the bsod?

And in the meantime you could try booting into a live linux environment, could just be a bit of corruption on your usb.

Hi again all,

Managed to get to my computer tonight and I:

-made sure all cables were seated properly
-made sure all power cables were all seated
-remade my windows 8 install usb onto another usb
-took out 1 stick of ram, 1 left in system.

and managed to boot into the windows install straight away and busy installing windows 8 right now.

Should I once windows is installed put back in the ram or could it be faulty?
