Now I know what BSOD is!

I finally bit the bullet, realizing that come July, I would basically be forced into W10. It's not all that bad, I reckon. Following the instructions in Johnb35's sticky, the process went rather smoothly. Thanks John.

So after the install, and looking around a bit, I shut down and restarted, just to see how long the startup would be. Well, "IT" appeared! ARGH! The BSOD!

Forced shutdown, then power up again, and this time, it starts fine. Slow, but it eventually got there.

Killed the password screen - WTF?

So now, the problem seems to be the same process of startup, BSOD, shutdown, and startup again. It seems to be a two-startup process at this point.

Not sure what to do short of reinstalling.

Any ideas?

That tutorial was actually created by the member Whox, not me. He deserves the credit, not me. http://www.computerforum.com/threads/how-to-install-windows-10.235393/

So once you startup and bsod appears, you shutdown and restart and its good then or does it still bluescreen?

Can you access safe mode?

Run bluescreenview.

Download BlueScreenView
No installation required.
Unzip downloaded file and double click on BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program.
When scanning is done, go Edit>Select All.
Go File>Save Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt.
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.

Morning John.

Your statement is correct. Start, bsod, shutdown, restart, life is good. It works that way every time. Start, shutdown, start, good to go.

Nothing seems to happen when I run BlueScreenView.exe

There's no indication that anything is running (dots across the screen, sliding bar, etc), so I just let it go for 15 minutes, but again, nothing.

Once you open bluescreenview you should see something like this. Then just follow the directions in my last post.

Then you have no files in the minidump folder. You haven't been running a temp file cleaner such as ccleaner, have you? If so, it deletes files inside the minidump folder.

Any information on the bluescreen itself? Usually gives you a very short description of the error.

I would just try reinstalling again.

No text on the bsod screen - just the bsod on black.

I'm doing a reinstall now.

Will report later

Thx

OK, just reinstalled W10.

Shut down machine, restart.......yup, same bsod standstill!!

Restarted machine, voilà! W10 started.

Ran Bluescreenview, same result. Nothing.

Worse case scenario, I start it, turn it off, and restart. Everything seems to work fine. It takes about 30 seconds more.

I know that's not the best solution, but until I figure out what's going on, it will have to do.

Are you overclocked at all? If so, remove the OC. Any external devices attached to the system?

No problem. I really believe if you do the fresh install, backing up your data of course, you'll be good to go.
