Windows download error code: 0x8007025d

[Faraxle]

Hiya guys. 

 

Yesterday, me and a friend of mine decided to take apart my PC, clean it and then replace the fans, and add an AIO Water cooler. After all this, we booted the PC up and windows launched. We monitored temps and we then did a fresh install of Windows. 

 

After the fresh install, the PC was booting fine. It would go through everything and I could access windows. However I left some residue files from one drive on my main drive which I wanted to get rid off so wanted to do another install.

 

Before I did my 2nd fresh install (which I wanted to install on my NVME m.2 drive), I had overclocked my CPU to 4.0 GHz at 1.35 V and overclock my 2 RAM sticks which was originally 2667 MHz which I was able to get to 3200MHz which I was able to keep stable during a cinebench run. So after all this overclocking, I did another fresh install. But during this install I was getting the error code 0x8007025d, which was saying "Windows cannot install required files. Make sure that all files required are available and restart the installation. Error code 0x8007025d"

 

The steps I have taken to try and fix this so far have been:

1. Download a new media key on my USB to try and get windows downloaded.

 

2. Remove all sata cables from my other drives and keep the m.2 as the only thing plugged in

 

3. Tried to access the repair my computer in the windows download bit but to no avail.

 

I'm kinda out of options to decide as I cannot figure out for the life of my why this is doing this.

 

If anyone can help me at all, or even tell me if a tech company can sort this out I don't mind paying either for a tech company to fix this I just can't figure out what to do.

 

Thanks guys

Hello friend! I think you didn't mention the PSU model, there is a part called Power supply efficiency curve when doing the OC and well, anyway! This might seem a bit unnecessary, I think OC projects are now left for a weekend project only because in many cases they are no longer needed. The efficiency curve means that if you occupy a certain amount of wattage for a machine, you must get a PSU that is powerful enough to prevent it from charging at 80 or 90 percent and only use 50 or 60 percent, that is, if you need 450 or 500 for a machine, buy one of 1000. This is done with the purpose of having the least amount of fluctuation possible since the energy will vary in all our homes but as it has been demostrated, the PSUs perform at the top of their capabilities when they only use 50/60 percent of their capacity. 

 

Now, this is unnecessary as I mentioned before, you don't really need to get or invest so much in a PSU for a weekend project. If you wish, test your hardware as follows, connect only the CPU, RAM (one stick at a time), the PSU and the monitor to the MOBO and try to acces BIOS to do a reset, If you can't even do this then your RAM or CPU may have become defective or even the PSU itself, then you should try other RAM modules or another CPU and PSU to find out if any of these is the cause of the problems.

My psu is a 650 supernova from evga. I found my issue was actually the overclocking. I cleared my bios then it installed. Thanks anyway

Alright! I am glad this was an easy fix, have a good one...
