So I just built my new pc and trying to install windows 11 pro from a USB. It gets to 10% then freezes. I tried several times as I reset the pc and still no luck...

Side note....

My case came with 2x headers for usb 3.0 yet my motherboard only has 1 input. How do I get the other 2 usb to work on front panel?

Specs..

Amd 9800x3d
Asus x870 tuff bios 0237 x64 build 07/22/24
Corsair ddr5 32gb x 2 6000
Asus 4090 tuff
Creative a5 soundcard
3x Samsung 9900 4tb
Corsair ax1500i
Corsair x7000rgb case
Corsair h170i cooler 28° idle

When you start the Windows install and you get to the screen that asks you what drive to install to delete every partition on that drive and then select new (this will erase all data on the drive).

I got it sorted out....seems like i did a few things in the bios and when it prompted me which drive, I erased the partitions.....now the only issue I'm having is one of my m.2 is only reading 120gb instead of 4tb....it's Samsung 990 pro. I tried to do something in disk management but still shows 120gb. My next move is to try a different slot.

Lastly, my case has 2x 3.0 headers. I plugged one into my motherboard but I don't know where to plug the other? Right now, only 2 usb work on front of case.

Wheeeeeu, it's been a while building a pc.....lol

 
 
Good to see you have made it past the Windows install. 
 
Which of those links helped you the most?
 
---> Did you /Have you Updated All chipset & then the MB drivers?
 
Correct (fully) inserted into the M.2 slot is something to check .... with the PC unplugged .... as MB always has some power otherwise
 
If M.2 is installed correctly time to look at "Disk Management" in Windows
 
If only 1 USB 3.0 header on MB:
Then you have to choose which two ports on the front of case to use / connect.  Normally you would want to use the ports on the back of the MB for any daily activities; so, 2 ports for thumb drives should be plenty
 
 
 
 
 
 

Happy to help
 
I've never used a USB port splitter before, your results - speed / stability might suffer when using more than 2 ports at the same time

Update:

So I ordered a USB 3.0 19 pin splitter for the front panel.

I removed that other drive showing up as 128gb and bought another samsung 990 pro with heat sink and now it's not showing up in bios or disk management.... might get the pc in to have a look at it...maybe something is missing......??????

Confused

Are you trying to make a RAID setup or just individual drives?

Not showing up in BIOS:
1) turn Fast Boot Off in BIOS if it is on
2) make sure to enable the M.2 Key-M slots in-use
 
follow any directions from the M.2 Mfg & your Asus MB

Hi, individual drives.... I've turned off fast boot....searched high n low but nothing showing up in bios to turn on the other m.2 slots. When I get home tonight, I will try again to reseat the drive.....maybe I'm not seating it properly???

Looks like you have a pretty old BIOS version on that motherboard - current version is 0816 if it's the one CoolGTX linked to - I'm assuming that it is since there are may Asus X870 boards, but the TUF Gaming X870 Plus WiFi is the only "TUF X870" that I see.  If it were my build, updating that BIOS would be my first step... 
 
> IF that doesn't fix the issue with the 990 Pro, THEN my next step would be full disassembly & start from scratch, reinstalling only the motherboard, CPU(with cooler of course), RAM, PSU, and the 990 Pro.  
 
> IF that doesn't fix it, then if possible, check the 990 Pro in a different motherboard (or in my case an external enclosure) to see if it's the drive itself, or a motherboard issue.
 
 
EDIT: not ready to install it just yet, but after your post, I decided to hook up my new 990 Pro 4TB via my external enclosure, which will be my new OS drive in my upcoming build refresh, and Windows sees 3726.01GB of unallocated space.  Also planning on lapping the CPU IHS on the 13900KS & water block contact plate during that refresh!

Guys, yes this is the asus x870 tuff wifi plus . I did update my bios to current. I did finally realize that I bought 2 fake drives.... the 1st one only seeing 128gb is indeed fake as I tried it in another pc and it came up same..... as for the other drive that didn't get recognized, it too was fake....my pc guy said it had a green pc board and all pics on internet showing up black....I thank everyone here that helped me out.....

Mods , you can close this one

Thanks for the update. 
 
Sure hope wherever you got those drives from, will refund or replace them.

That really sucks    
 
But that's also why I almost exclusively buy computer hardware from Newegg, Amazon, or when possible directly from the manufacturer.   Also being careful to check the return policies, and whenever possible only buying sold-by/shipped-by Newegg or Amazon items.  There are a couple of other good vendors that I will occasionally buy from as well, but only if they have a MUCH better deal going on, i.e. $20 total savings isn't enough to give up the ease of returns through Amazon... 

On both occasions, I did get my money back....


I see your reasoning, but the prices on marketplace can't be beat....I got 2x 990 pros 4tb for the price of 1 retail
