Windows 10 Installation Issues After Inserting New SSD and HDD - Gigabyte Driver Tool

Hello experts!
The problem has been occurring since I inserted another ssd and hdd into the computer. Then, the first time I was able to install win10 (I bought the key on the oem version), I also downloaded the driver installation tool from the gigabyte website to find and install all of it (I think it was there and I remember it). After restarting the computer, the message "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected" appeared.
So I decided that something had erupted and I would put the system back on, the start screen passes the bios, the pendrive starts working, the wheel of the windows spins for 2 seconds and then suddenly stops and the pendraive no longer works. For installation I used rufus, I checked on windows 10 / windows 7 but it doesn't change anything. I tried installing from the second bios, restored the default settings, uploaded the bios again (F7), replaced the battery, hooked up previous drives, changed the framework. On another computer, pendraive boots normally.
I spent a week looking for a solution but I have no ideas anymore, I have never encountered such a thing.

The computer consists of:
- i7 4790k
- gigabyte g1 sniper (dual bios)
- GTX 970

I noticed that if I remove the graphics card and attach the monitor to the integrated installer, it normally boots and I can install the system, which later hangs after loading the desktop. I will immediately point out that the problem is not a graphics card, I checked on another.
Please help.

Have you changed the boot in BIOS from UEFI to Legcy?
In other USB (including 2.0) you put the pen with the installation?
Display view on the BIOS tabs. Why do we need useless movies ?:

- after changing to legacy, a blue windows startup screen appears and then freezes

- yes, I changed ports

Prepare rufus pena for booting in uefi (top drop down box) without CSM. Boot up yes? I note that uefi does not boot from NTFS. Besides, are you still installing from the same pen? Try another one. Sometimes the USB device does not work properly with the disc.

It boots, turns the wheel for 2 seconds and then hangs - I wrote it in the first post (of course, this is fat32). I tried on a different flash drive, it doesn't change anything.

It is not strange for you that if I remove the graphics card and attach the monitor to the integrated one, the installer will boot normally and I can install the system, which later hangs after loading the desktop. I will immediately point out that the problem is not a graphics card, I checked on another.

I see several possibilities here:
1. Media problem - I had a similar symptom once - the problem was a faulty DVD. I recommend (if you can) installing normally from the CD. I remember then that there were also problems with the pendrive - various USB (2.0, 3.0), and Winda installs drivers for "better" USB only at the very end.

2. Problem with disks - have you done everything right? Since the problem is only now? " Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected "after installation of the system indicates hit data medium. After installing Windows - disk. How do you have disks arranged?

3. Problem with UEFI / Legacy - as for the card - you have a quote here from UEFI / Legacy - UEFI GOP replaces the outdated VGA mode used by the BIOS. Unfortunately, even not very old graphics cards (even though still available in many Radeon HD 7950 stores) do not support GOP. As a result, to install Windows in UEFI mode, you must connect the monitor to the integrated graphics socket at least during installation - that's why you can install under integrated. And then you install Win10 on UEFI, with an incompatible computer and roller.

Edith. I also found a similar problem from another forum.

hi,
I've updated to MSI Geforce 970 from Radeon 6950 and found that I can only boot my system using Legacy ROM setting in BIOS. Modern EFI setting causes blank screen for several minutes.
It's not modern, yes, but when I was using Radeon card there were no such problems.
I'm pretty sure it must be Geforce BIOS problem.

Seba, all 3 points As above - eliminated.
And you tried ISO from another source?
Well, with this card weird. You can't install OS on Intel and PEG make post factum?

Well, not all - as I read on the MSI forum, people have problems with this card in UEFI mode. That would explain why integrated goes.

The UEFI computer must have all UEFI compatible parameters.

@ SebaD86 well summarized.
I will give you a few more ideas.
1) Equipment definitely functional? The drive you are installing the system on is SMART OK? Damaged RAM can also mix - for the sake of peace I would also check.
2) Why do you use rufus? After all, Microsoft MediaCreationTool can create a bootable USB stick. Maybe you have a faulty Windows installer ISO?
3) The disk you are installing on is definitely set to GPT, not MBR?

And if nothing really works then install the system on the integr in legacy mode. You can add graphics later and easily convert to UEFI. And this newer BIOS can also be uploaded, maybe it has some patches.

gentlemen,
installing in legacy mode is not a solution for me since I've always done it using rufus in UEFI. Pendrive boots on another computer correctly so it's not a problem. I swapped disks, rams, graphics card, bios battery and then the same.
I have a card from gigabyte, not MSI. The installer does not even start when the disks are disconnected, so there is no point in rolling it.
Suspicion falls on the motherboard, power supply, processor or some dust but that they fall so suddenly? In addition, after placing a new system? A bit strange coincidence.

Such thinking is deceptive. You prepared the pen as bootable in UEFI, FAT32 mode, turned off CSM and Secure Boot. The disk on which you are installing should also be free of leftovers from the previous OS.
It should work like this.
I just remind you that in post # 1 you described the situation where the problem appears after unknowingly flashing the BIOS.

Magic.

Eh, because @aachi messed up Install in UEFI but on the integr. Have you tried
As for the situation with disks, I suggest resetting the beginning of the disk, since there is no important data there. Biosios often save various data on the hard disk, maybe it mixes something up?

I remind you that the pen bootouje on another PC, it is not known in what mode and whether UEFI is there, but it boots.
We use Rufus because it has greater configuration options and is useful for linuxes, bootable tools and I provide @aachi that such an album has not been born yet, which could not be boiled by Rufus.

I use rufus myself as I need a pendrive with tools to do, however, I do not need to install Windows 10 because the Microsoft tool can do it.

That's magic. I suspect that, however, the user is doing something wrong, that's why I recommend using MediaCreationTool from Microsoft. There you can only decide whether you want to install 32 or 64 bits. There is no chance to choose the wrong boot settings

It is worth noting that in UEFI often the installation pendrive must be connected to the USB2.0 port and so on before turning on the computer.

Pressing F12 immediately after turning on the computer will launch the menu with the choice of source to boot. This allows you to skip manual ordering in the BIOS and verify that the computer sees the flash drive at all.

And check SMART and confirm that the disk is set to GPT partitioning.

In UEFI, install on the integr. However, if all the methods fail, remember that it is possible to install the system in legacy mode, and then change the settings to boot in UEFI mode (i.e. as if it was installed in UEFI boot mode from the beginning). Yes, I remind you, because you said that the installer starts in legacy mode.
