Im pulling my hair out here please help!
Ive got a BOXNUC5i5RYH with two sticks of 4GB RAM (8GB total) and an Intel M.2 SSD (ssdsckjw120H6). Installing Win 10 Pro via USB goes without a hitch. After installing the initial windows files it reboots as normal. At this point I pull the USB stick out it boots off the SSD and continues to finalise the windows install. It makes it all the way through to desktop and starts running standard windows updates. It runs normally and I can install and use Chrome and anything else... THEN! as soon as it reboots to finalise windows updates it posts and says there is no boot device.. to be specific the boot device is there (detected in BIOS) but it cant boot from it. Error says the standard "Reboot and select proper boot device".
The puzzling part is it has already booted off the SSD right after I remove the USB stick.
I have done this 4 times now. 3 times on the M.2 SSD and once off a standard 2.5 sata SSD - still same results. Ive upadated BIOS to latest version.
Is windows sabotaging itself during windows update or is this NUC chosing an unusual way to die??
Oh and probably should have mentioned earlier, it has been running Win 10 in this harware configuration for 12 months plus already without a hitch. This started randomly when I turned it on one day and blue screened during windows load with error "critical_process_died"
Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced
