1485699 2022-04-20 00:18:00 Got a Satellite Pro R50-B here with faulty hard drive (bad sectors), so chucked a SSD drive in and can't install Windows 10.
It boots off USB, then after a minute or so the screen turns to crap - see pic. Have tried a couple of older builds but the same thing happens. If I press a key when the screen turns to mush, it reboots. Display was working fine, Bios text all normal, live CDs display correctly, etc. Any ideas?

Didn't boot first time, but changed a setting in the bios from CSM to UEFI and all good. Bloody computers.

1485701 2022-04-20 05:04:00 LOL, so solved it yourself. It means there's some hardware issue with first PC. Probably. piroska (17583)
1485702 2022-04-22 12:18:00 Or some driver incompatibility.

Some older laptops can have real weird hardware setups that won't work with anything but the OEM drivers.
