Question Can't install Windows 10, get "system misuse PTE" message

[tim9317]

I just built a Windows 10 desktop and in spite of some initial issues, I got it working over DVI via my EVGA GTX 1070 card. I bought my 1070 card used and could never get the HDMI port to output an image. The computer would detect monitors connected to the HDMI port on my 1070 but wouldn't output an image. Yesterday I decided to get a displayport to hdmi adapter to output an hdmi image on my TV and it worked. However, while I had the image displayed on my TV, the computer restarted for no reason and now my BIOS just keeps reloading over and over. My motherboard logo will show and it will just say "automatically repairing system errors", then it will show a blue screen with the message "system misuse PTE". If I try to boot from my Windows 10 Pro install disc, my PC does the same thing.

I have Googled this "system misuse PTE" problem and tried a few recommended solutions. I did disable TPM in my BIOS, removed the CMOS battery for 30 seconds and then re-installed it, removed and re-installed my RAM, fully formatted my system SSD, plugged my SSD and CD drive into different Sata ports, downgraded to the oldest BIOS update and when that didn't work, I updated to the newest BIOS. Nothing I have done has made any difference. When I first built my PC, my older Radeon HD 7750 card did work in my new rig but now, I get a message from my motherboard saying that my 7750 card isn't supported and that I should enable CSM mode. I was using the latest drivers for my 1070 card when my PC was working. I just don't understand how my PC could be working fine over DVI one minute and then as soon as I connect a displayport to hdmi adapter and extend my desktop to my other screen, it basically crashed my PC and now I can't get Windows to install or load. Strangely, when I tried to boot from a Windows 7 install disc, it does say "loading Windows files", but then it gets stuck at the Windows loading screen.

At this point, it seems like my Motherboard is faulty. Even if I boot the PC without my SSD connected, I still get the "system misuse" PTE message. My video card might be faulty as well but if it is still outputting an image over DVI, it shouldn't be preventing Windows from installing.

What is your SSD and what is the motherboard? A few tips for troubleshooting: try running memtest86, also could try the 1070 in another system. Also, what power supply do you have? May as well list full system specs.

Motherboard - Asus Tuf X570 plus wifi
SSD - Samsung 860 Evo 1TB
Ram - G.Skill Ripjaws V Series DDR4 (2 x 8 GB) 3600 Mhz F4-3600C16D-16GVK
PSU - Seasonic Focus GX-750 80+ Gold
CPU - AMD Ryzen 3600 with stock cooler

At this point, I suspect that either the motherboard or RAM is faulty. Even when I try to load the Windows 10 usb drive without my SSD connected, I get the same errors (i.e. system misuse PTE, critical system failure, memory management error and a few other errors that list a series of numbers). I'm going to buy another X570 motherboard and test it out today. I will also buy another set of ram and test that out if I continue to have issues with the board I buy today.

Did you go into the CSM section in the UEFI and disable secure boot after turning off TPM? Did you enable CSM as it advised, while in there? You should set the boot option to UEFI and Legacy too.

Do all of that, and if it still fails, then use your old 7750 in the 2nd PCIe 4.0 x16 slot. It could be the 1070 is faulty and even possibly damaged the primary slot. Just stuff to try before RMAing or returning to etailer.
