Reboot loop at the beginning of fresh Windows 10 install on a SSD
Hello,
I am trying to do a fresh instal Windows 10 on a new SSD on my desktop, but no joy.
Setup displays the windows logo, but when that circle start spinning, the computer reset/reboots itself.
I have removed my HDD to do this (only the new SSD and optical drive are connected), and tried 2 windows 10 dvds and one bootable flash drive. Also tried 2 optical drives.
The mobo is a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD2P , and I have tried to connect the SSD on the GSATA3 (Marvell) and SATA2 (Intel P55) ports with the same results. Control mode is set to AHCI, but tried IDE too.
The SSD is a Sandisk Plus, and I checked that it is OK using an USB adaptor to access it on my notebook.
Tried it unformatted (unallocated space) and also formatted with NTFS.
Also tried to install windows 8.1 with same result, then I tried windows 7. Windows 7 install until the end, but does not boot. Trying to boot win7 in safety mode with command prompt, it hangs on 'disk.sys'. I know that the next load would be 'vid.sys', so the problem could be my GPU ? Unfortunately my mono does not have onboard graphics, so I can't remove my video card to do a test. Any other ideas?
