Post Body

Received my HX99G Barebones on Friday.

Added

- G.Skill RipJaws DDR5 SO-DIMM 64GB (2 x 32GB) 262-Pin DDR5 4800
- Samsung 2TB 980 Pro M.2

I have tried installing WIndows 10, 11 and Batocera with no luck. I have tried a different M.2 drive and still no luck.

Windows 11 will get to various different parts of installation and then freeze and/or crash and if it gets past the first part of copying the files from the Windows 11 boot drive to the M.2. When the system boots back into the full installer it will say that the files are corrupted. I have tried two different USB drives using "Create Windows 11 Installation Media" on the MS site with no luck.

Batocera was using an external drive and also no luck. I get the Batocera boot screen and then it goes to black. each time. Wrote the ISO to the external twice with the same results using BalenaEtcher.

I already wrote to Minisforum. Is this system a lemon? Could it be the RAM?
