Power outage while both PC on.

heh thats good

anyway, i'd disable PXE boot too.
its the option right above the legacy one ED is talking about changing.

PXE will screw up some times, doesn't sound like your installing any thing over the network so might as well take it out of the line of suspects

Really?! I've never seen PXE boot screw up before? I dont use it at home (job was a different story) but it never got in the way of anything/never disabled it. I'll have to switch it off and see if it does anything....maybe it's picking up fkr the OP for some reason.. worth a try.

Good news. I like to thanks every body for taking the time trying to help me. I keep thinking why won't Windows proceed to install? I was thinking way back in 2017 (1st gen 1950X threadripper CPU) I was having the same issue. In the Bios> Chipset- IUOMM is in Auto. This IUOMM thing must be disable in order to proceed Windows install. After disable IUOMM> Save and exit. Restart the system, finally Windows begin copying windows files to 100% then it restart the system and I am back to beginning Press any key to boot from CD or DVD. I am thinking what the F is that. Copying windows files but refused to install? Then I was about to login into Overclocker forum to check on the thread here and I see a post by Earthdog, "STORAGE BOOT OPTION CONTROL is set to Lagacy only" is there a uefi or both option there? BOOM CHECK MATE. After change it to UEFI save and exit. Windows now copying files and installing. This forum/members are awesome. I 've received helps when I needed. Thank you so much everyone.

New problem. I have 3 copy windows 10 . All failed to activate . I don't know its related to any hardware? The motherboard is first time in Used. The serial# used on this system before now failed to activate.

I'm assuming the NIC driver is installed & the internet works. Isn't Phone Microsoft still an option? Should be able to tell a live person you're doing a reinstall on a corrupted Windows install after a warranty motherboard failure & replacement. Just make sure you have the key that was in use before.

Please disregard my last above post. When I first install windows 10 and I enter the serial # and windows 10 accepted and proceed to the installation. Then I am having problems updating it keeps telling me can't update and check settings. Upon checking windows system it is Said my copy of windows is not activated. Don't know why it's said that as I had entered the serial during windows installation. So I proceed to enter the serial# again and then it's telling me can't activate windows. After many tries turning off and restart. Then I see notifications at the power on/off on the lower left hand corner prompt me to update windows. I did try to update about 3 or 4 times and eventually it's finish the update. The first 1-3 times it completed the install but failed to configure windows update. It is freaking weird. Don't know why
It failed in the first place.

Thanks for your input. its all good now see my above post. Phone Microsoft used to be good but now its a nightmare. 6 months or so ago I phone them regarding Windows can't active. I spoke to the Indian? Having a hard times understanding them.
