Recent windows 10 update - restart loop can't boot
After a recent crash, my windows 10 does not load properly anymore and instead is stuck in an endless restart loop (system repairs etc does not work). I have also formatted one of my hard drives and did a clean install from a usb and the same thing is happening. (To clarify, both my old windows install and my new windows 10 install on a clean hard drive are having the same issues).
What it does: after the spinning dots, my monitor will become covered with white dots, which will disappear, being replaced with less noticeable red dots, and then eventually the computer will restart.
I read about the AMD stuff with the newest patch, but my CPU is an INTEL i7 (4770 I think?).
Details about the events:
I can't really provide any details about my problem since there is no error message and my computer is now dead so I can't give you the update number. I do know that I installed an update maybe 2 weeks ago, but that update keeps failing to complete (requires restart but never works after a restart). In the past few days, I started getting freezes while gaming. The sound would get stuck along with the computer and I would have no choice but to restart. This morning, when I restarted for the 3rd time (?) since this started happening, windows would not boot. After the loading screen, a pattern of white dots flash before going black and my computer restarts after a while (maybe 2 minutes?).
I did a clean install after formatting one of my new hard drives, but the same thing ended up happening. The install was by all accounts successful until Cortana decided to check for updates. I was able to do all of my preferences and stuff, but after Cortana does the updates and restarts, I get the same bug I was experiencing on my old system. For reference, I did a clean install using a usb stick with the media creation tool I downloaded this afternoon.
Is there anyway for me to install an older version of windows 10 without it automatically updating to the newest stuff?
