Hello
I've just built a new PC for myself. Not a beginner with this - built close to 50 pc's over many years so, here goes..
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z390-H
CPU: Intel i7-9700 3.0GHz
RAM: 16 Gb Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR4 2 x 8Gb CMW16GX4M2C3000C15
Kingston 480Gb SSD SA400S37
Western Digital Blue 2Tb SATA drive
Pioneer SATA Optical drive - salvaged from my old PC and in temporary use only.
I do have an Asus Geforce GTX1660 GPU but haven't put it in yet.
PSU is a Corsair RM850
Windows 10 Pro 64 OEM DVD is my install media. Just purchased with the rest of my hardware.
Computer powers on just fine, passes all it's POSTs and it lets me go in to the BIOS. I've selected the option to allow boot from legacy and UEFI devices and made sure the Pioneer VD is at the top of the list. I put the windows disk in the DVD drive, save and reboot and the screen comes up to press any key to boot from CD which I do, it goes to the blue flag screen, the dots start chasing around the circle for about ten seconds then they stop, the DVD spins down and shortly after I get a BSOD with no error codes - just 'machine check exception' and it hangs there. Only option is to hard power off. No drivers loaded - haven't got that far. No BIOS updates done - haven't got that far. Can't boot into safe mode - doesn't get that far. Nothing I can see in the BIOS indicates there is a problem with any hardware - RAM all appears to be good and I haven't overclocked it. CPU temp is sitting around 35C which is way cool. Nothing to indicate a problem but Windows seems to be unhappy with something.
Would appreciate some suggestions?
