Windows 10: BSOD during setup of Windows on SSD from USB

I followed this: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-clean-install-windows-10-a.html in order to do a fresh install of Windows 10 Home onto my SSD from my hard drive.Now I am experiencing BSOD when attempting to set up Windows. Specifically during the pin setup, Cortana setup, etc.

Installing windows off of a USB stick

Step By Step from vista:
From admin cmd prompt

1. diskpart
1a. list disk
2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

And that's it, boot off your usb disk

 

Windows reboots to Windows Setup during installation

Dear Support Community,

I have created a working Windows Creation Media instance on a USB (previously used successfully to install Windows on my laptop M2. NVME SSD) and am attempting to install Windows on a new M2. NVME SSD (identical brand and make) in my desktop with the same USB. I replaced the old SSD on the motherboard with the new SSD and set the boot order so it boots from (1) USB (2) M2. NVME.

Here are the anomalies and issues:

1. At Windows Setup screen appears and gives options to “Install” or “Repair.”
   
   1. Choosing “Install” takes me to the terms and conditions.
      
   2. Using my mouse, I am unable to accept the terms.
      
   3. Using keyboard keys (Tab, Shift-tab, Spacebar, etc.) does not work to navigate the terms.
      
   4. I can only read the terms and click the box and “Next” if I press CTRL+ALT+DEL and wait about 3 sec.
      
2. At the installation screen, the existing drives are listed. I have two SATA HDD drives installed, which appear, and the newly installed drive, which I leave Unallocated.
   
3. Windows installation proceeds through each step until it reaches the last step (“Finishing…”) when it says it needs to reboot to continue.
   
4. It allows me to Reboot by clicking or gives a countdown.
   
5. As it reboots, it goes back to the Windows Setup screen.
   
6. If I proceed with “Install,” the new drive appears with new windows partitions showing on the new drive.
   
7. At this point, I have tried the following, which only lead to the same Reboot sequence:
   
   1. Delete the three new partitions on the new disk and start over again.
      
   2. Open Bios and restore Factory Default Settings
      
   3. Try the Repair option at Windows Setup and go through the other steps.
      
8. When I have installed Windows on the new drive with unallocated space and removed the USB after the reboot sequence, I get the following error:
   
   1. Error 1962 No Operating System Detected (it’s a Lenovo desktop).
      
9. I have seen suggestions to clear the CMOS cache by removing the battery. I have not tried this because it seems risky. I will if that’s the most logical recommendation.
   

Any further help would be very appreciated. I am confused about what’s next. It’s vital I get this computer working and do not have the means to obtain another hard drive.

Thank you,

Mark

 

Getting all kinds of BSOD while installing Windows 10 on an empty SSD

I was receiving a BSOD every 1-4 weeks (while working on Windows 10), wasn't able to figure out the cause of it. Tested RAM, SSD, all were good and I didn't pay too much attention.

Yesterday I've received another BSOD, didn't mind it, PC restarted and I saw a Windows message of "Automatic repair", which then resulted into "Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete.". Left it there for another 10 or so hours - it
was still running. Shut down the PC, took out the SSD (Samsung EVO 850, bought 6 months ago), backed up all the data, cleaned it, formatted and now trying to install windows on an empty SSD. Using a USB. These are the BSODs that I'm currently receiving when
trying to launch a Windows installation (by the way, same BSODs were appearing earlier "when everything was fine"):

• IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL
• SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION
• KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE
• NTFS FILE SYSTEM
• MULTIPLE IRP COMPLETE REQUESTS
• BAD POOL HEADER

Already tried:

• reformatting the SSD
• reformatting the USB and flashing Windows installation to it
• tried using another USB
• switching RAM sticks (in total there are 4 of them, 8 GB each)
• BIOS default

PC parts:

• Motherboard: Asus B350-PLUS
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 1700
• RAM: G.Skill Flare X DDR4-2400 (4x8GB)
• SSD: Samsung 850 EVO (500 GB)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
