I built my first computer, which has already proven to be a challenging task, and just when I finally think everything is good to go, Windows 10 decides that I can't continue.
Upon trying to install using the Media Creation tool, once it installs, it will go through the entire install, restart and put me in an endless loop of restarting, first starting with a blue screen with the error code "BUGCODE NDIS DRIVER" with nothing else, and then a popup screen that says Your computer unexpectedly restarted and Windows cannot proceed with the install, your computer must be restarted.
I've done as much research as I possibly can and have tried the following:
- Formatting the USB drive I used as Exfat, NTFS, quick format and "non-quick" format
- Used a different USB drive
- Used an SD Card
- Taken out all Ram sticks except for 1
- Taking out M.2 of DIMM slot
- Installed from front panel of case, and back panel of case straight into motherboard
- Upgrading my BIOS (Current BIOS is 0207)
- Switching out both cables to the SSD I'm trying to boot from
- Opening up a prompt to see if I could edit the registry (I don't have all the folders that I've seen in other forums and screenshots)
- Letting it restart forever until I lost my mind
In another forum, I read that you can somehow install old drivers? How would I go about doing that without ever having been able to even start up Windows on this computer? Where would I get the drivers?
Please help as I am desperate at this point. I spent thousands on this build and just need it to start so I can do my job
