BSOD after upgrade to Win10/trouble "Resetting" Win10/

Ztruker said:

Sounds good. Let me know how you make out.

Ok I have made the boot repair USB and am starting with the operations, should I just start at 1 and make my way all the way down?

EDIT: I am sorry, I made the wrong file. I made a backup recovery tool, I am now downloading the ISO so that I can mount it.

I attempted to use the first several steps of the windows image health program by Kyhi.Step 1 and Step 2 provided me with .txt files which I included.Step 2 and Step 3 provided me with the same error code.Step 4 recommended that no component cleanup was needed.Step 7 ran a scan to completion and provided me with a .txt file which I included.I have not yet run any steps 8-15I ran Step 16 to help me download the proper .iso file.

You need to provide a Windows 10 source that Kyhi's program can use to repair missing files.The tutorial says to use Step #16. Once you have the ISO downloaded, just right click on it and select Mount. Then run Steps 1, 2 and 3.

Sorry I wasn't more specific, I actually did that. I mounted the windows.iso file and then chose that source. I can retrace those steps once more to ensure that I selected the proper source.

Again thank you for taking your time to help me. I have already learned so much.

There is a chance the corruption is too large for DISM to fix, a quick look shows tons of payloads corrupted. There is a chance an in-place upgrade helps faster/better.

Ok, thank you! I have found a tutorial for "in-place upgrade" and will attempt later tonight when I get home.

Ok, After several days of attempting this in-place upgrade I am getting no where. I followed a tutorial on these forums for this type of upgrade, making sure to log in as admin, turn off AV software, and to disable secure boot from my BIOS. When mounting the ISO file, I am getting a setup error asking me to reboot and try again.

My next question I have, is would it be possible to just to a completely clean install, just wipe the HD and everything and start over?

It is possible, but if you don't mind I would like to rule out a few things as possible interference before moving forward.

Diagnostics Test

 HDD TEST

   Note

Please run HDTune first, in the order posted!

Run HDTune to

• check the health,
• scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
• run a benchmark.

It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
When above is done please make screenshots of the following

• the health,
• the error scan,
• the benchmark incl. following
  
  • transfer rate,
  • access time,
  • burst rate,
  • cpu usage.

Run SeaTools DOS to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums
Run the long test.

   Note

Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.

Make a photo of the result and post it.

Run chkdsk

Use option TWO with parameter /r

Diagnostic Test

 RAM TEST

Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums

   Note

MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

Make a photo of the result and post it.

Addition:
If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.

Will do! Beginning them now, I will edit this post when I am completed with all of the above steps.

Thanks for your assistance with this Axeo!
