Hello community! after 5 years of rocking it on my RIVBE, one of my RAID drives locked up, and it is time for a fresh install. I have been fighting the good fight, but i still can not get the install to complete. Both win8 and win10 refuse to load. i have accomplished a few things. i did get the bios upgraded to 801(modded by a forum member for win10). i can consistently get to the start of the installation files, but both win8 and win10 crash around 20% inflated. I know i need the latest MEI, but i do not know how to run the executable without an operating system. the processor is a i7-4930k, 32gb of ram. it has been a great system and i hate to lose it now. any help, pointers, links etc would be greatly appreciated. Also, any known good BIOS settings would be a big help.
