    Very weird issue with ACER Aspire A6 Desktop

    I have a job that I am trying to re-format...

    The PC has 1tb drive on it and works with no issues (win10)

    I switched this drive with an SSD, tried to format with Windows 10,

    . Tried usual method (WDS, that's how I format computers all the time) pc reboots right after copying files, first reboot at windows logo. Then goes into reboot loop until the blue screen.
    . Tried to install from USB, DVD etc. it freezes on setup loading windows logo.
    . Tried both legacy and uefi methods, same happens.

    If I go back to old disk windows loads everything works,
    If I put the SSD and try to re-format either it freezes (with usb etc) or reboots at first reboot.

    It is really annoying, I noticed the old drive has 100mb partition and the new one has 500 as boot manager. Any tips on this situation or specific model. (I will be running memtest just to make sure the ram is ok.)

    Probably a driver issue; chipset or IME (assuming its an Intel); but the 'A6' suggests its an AMD...but I'm still thinking it's a driver issue. May have to slipstream the chipset & HDD controller drivers into your Windows image.
