Hello.
I know from the title this may seem like another normal Google-able error, and trust me, i have tried my best.
I have recently tried to build my new PC. I got the motherboard, RAM and CPU in a bundle. I didn't have any issues putting the hardware together. Before the boot i checked my bios for correct memory settings and i changed Sata config to AHCI. Then i tried to boot from an official windows 7 home premium disk which has only be used once before (and successfully). I started the installation with only my DVD drive and SSD drive plugged into the motherboard.
The files were copied and then started extracting. After a handful of minutes during the extraction, i got an error like this:
I tried once again with the same disk and had the same error at the same place. I also tried to restart the installation without restarting the pc and had the same result.
Here is what i'm using:
Mobo: M5A78L-M/usb3 ASUS
CPU: AMD FX8150
RAM: Ballistix Sport 2x4gb 1600Mhz
Drive: OCZ agility 3 (in sata 2 port)
OS to install: Windows 7 Home Premium
This is some of what i have tried so far from searching google:
BIOS related:
Reset CMOS
Set to Default settings
Reinstall Bios
Update to latest Drivers
Check component connections
RAM related
Check memory timings/speeds
check memory using memtest86
Use just 1 stick of RAM
Use the other stick of RAM
Hard Drive Related
Check is SSD was recognised by BIOS
switch SATA config to IDE
switch SSD to HDD
Switch main SATA ports
Update SSD firmware
OS related:
Download new OS ISO from Microsoft and other official distributors (tried 3 different ISO's)
Boot using DVD Drive (all burned using low speed setting)
Boot using USB Drive
Despite ALL of what i tried already, the error doesn't change, it always stops at 15% when booting from a CD and 4% from a USB With the same error message.
Thanks for any suggestions or opinions and sorry for the wall of text, i think a little to much info is better than not enough, i tried to make it as reader friendly as best i could.
