Hello everyone. This is a new Workstation-PC with all-new parts:

- Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 mobo
- Intel i7 4820k w Hyper 212 EVO cooler
- Zotac Amp! GTX 1080 8gb
- 24gb Crucial Ballistix DDR3 RAM
- 480gb Adata SSD
- 2tb Toshiba HDD
- Corsair CX750 PSU
- Bios flashed to the latest version available in Gigabyte's site (F20)

The bios shows every single part being recognized and working properly, the problem I'm having is a fresh Windows 10 install just doesn't work. I've tried changing some setting in the bios but nothing has worked so far. Whenever I restart with the install media plugged in the USB drive it will flash past the bios as usual, then show the Windows starting screen, except this one is frozen, no array of dots flashing or anything, just the Windows screen stuck. No matter how long you wait, nothing is happening. I've also left just the SSD connected to reduce the chance of compatibility issues, nothing has worked so far.

Anyone using this mobo or having experienced the same problem found a solution?.
