Hello.
I am trying to make the following setup (without any overclocking) to boot stable and without issues Windows 10 64 bit Pro:
I used a temporary CPU AIO cooler in order to cool the CPU.
The latest UEFI/BIOS version and drivers were installed.
I've setup the system with Windows 10 Pro from DVD and after a lot of updates and time, I managed to make the system boot from the M.2 SSD.
Then everything was disassembled in order to be water-cooled.
After successful leak-testing
(the ignore CPU fan speed option has been setup in the bios in order to be able to continue booting)
I fired up the system but...
- the M.2 was not recognized anymore as the booting device...
- Windows (?) is producing various kinds of blue screen errors (BAD POOL CALL, PFS LIST, IRQ LESS THAN OR EQUAL, TRYING TO WRITE IN READ ONLY MEMORY.. and others) and restarts the system itself
- Sometimes Windows gets in 'Preparing Automatic Repair' mode and -after 3-4 seconds in which M.2 seems to work- it freezes
- When I choose to boot from a Windows 10 USB everything freezes after 1-2 seconds
- I tried to boot from a Linux Khali USB but it was not possible to come to the point to use the OS even after selecting a 'safe mode'. Everything freezes
I tried the following with no obvious change/success:
- removed and installed again the M.2 and tried to boot without the M.2 installed
- changed the PSU cables to the stock ones from Corsair -in case the modded ones were causing less power to be distributed to the motherboard-
- reset the CMOS and start tweaking from scratch 2-3 times
I am thinking of uninstalling the SSD and M.2 and formatting them through a different PC and then trying to install again windows from scratch.
But most probably is not a Windows problem...
Any suggestions as to how to proceed ? Because currently I cannot even make any new fresh install ! :-(
Looking forward for any help/suggestion you may provide.
kind regards
