Windows Installer: tried USB and UEFI entry, at both the same happens: PC starts from USB, Windows logo appears, the loading indicator turns for one round and than the whole PC freezes.

Ubuntu Installer: PC starts from USB, Ubuntu installer appears and I could install Ubuntu.

The Windows Installer was created with the Windows Media Creation tool. I installed with it yesterday Windows on my Notebook, so it is definitely working.

I think I will contact the ASRock Support...

EDIT: I tried the new Beta BIOS 4.53 but nothing changed.

paulneedshelp, what happens besides not working?  Did you boot the UEFI or the other USB entry?  What is the state of CSM?  Tell us again how you created the installer, please.  Enjoy, John.]]> Sun, 04 Mar 2018 03:12:13 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7851&PID=46578&title=cannot-boot-from-usb-anymore#46578 <![CDATA[Cannot boot from USB anymore : Ok, the strange thing is that...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7851&PID=46568&title=cannot-boot-from-usb-anymore#46568 Author: paulneedshelp

Ok, the strange thing is that the PC boots from a Ubuntu installer without a problem but it can't boot from the Windows installer.]]> Sun, 04 Mar 2018 00:55:56 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7851&PID=46568&title=cannot-boot-from-usb-anymore#46568 <![CDATA[Cannot boot from USB anymore : paulneedshelp, I did not have...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7851&PID=46314&title=cannot-boot-from-usb-anymore#46314 Author: MisterJ

paulneedshelp, I did not have much hope for CSM.  Please try Beta BIOS/UEFI 4.53 and let us hear.  Enjoy, John.

paulneedshelp, I would suggest UEFI Default, which you have done.  You could try Disabling CSM.  It looks like to me something has broken - need to figure out what.  Enjoy, John.]]> Thu, 01 Mar 2018 02:18:41 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7851&PID=46292&title=cannot-boot-from-usb-anymore#46292 <![CDATA[Cannot boot from USB anymore : Yes I have tried the usb-sick...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7851&PID=46271&title=cannot-boot-from-usb-anymore#46271 Author: paulneedshelp

Yes I have tried the usb-sick on my notebook (Lenovo y50) and i could start the installer without a problem. (I had the bios set to uefi and legacy).

Are there some BIOS settings I can check?

I don't blame you, but I suspect something broke and I am trying to narrow it down.  Can you go to another machine and try your USB stick?  You can let it boot to the "Where do you want to install Windows" screen and quit (X in upper right) with no fear of corrupting the machine. Have you used the Rufus full format and/or check for bad blocks options?  Enjoy, John.

MisterJ, I have tried now the 8gb stick and the same thing happend (freezes at the spinning loading indicator). Honestly I don't want to remove one (of two) memory sticks because I would have to remove the entire CPU heatsink. And I don't think thats the problem because it worked already in that configuration.]]> Tue, 27 Feb 2018 06:29:13 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7851&PID=46147&title=cannot-boot-from-usb-anymore#46147 <![CDATA[Cannot boot from USB anymore : paulneedshelp, let&#039;s get...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7851&PID=46145&title=cannot-boot-from-usb-anymore#46145 Author: MisterJ

paulneedshelp, let's get back to basics.  Remove all HW not needed to boot.  Use one stick of memory, video card, no SSDs, no HDDs.  I have trouble with installing from 16 GB USB sticks and suggest using no larger that 8GB.  Enjoy, John.]]> Tue, 27 Feb 2018 06:17:31 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7851&PID=46145&title=cannot-boot-from-usb-anymore#46145
