Persistant Error Installing Windows 7

"Windows cannot install required drivers. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error Code 0x80070570"

 

This has happened every time I have tried to  install Windows 7. (I know it is out of date and I will be told to change to another OS) I really don't understand why my computer would keep giving me this error. Other operating systems install without issue. I have tried Linux Mint 19.3 and Manjaro, which installed without problems. (Yet gave me plenty of other headaches.) Windows Vista installed correctly too. I have tried on multiple drives, from different DVD drives, using different boot discs, using different iso files, and from USB boot drives too. I've tried both Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate, and this on a machine that has run Windows 7 for years. I once removed the graphics card, DVD drive, and every peripheral that I physically could. I've tried with and without either of my two memory sticks and slots, and tried upgrading from Vista to 7. In short, I have absolutely no idea why my computer is so allergic to Windows 7 specifically. Also, every OS (7, Vista, Linux) was 64 bit, and so is my computer. I've also reset the BIOS.

 

Ironically enough Vista was the only OS that installed without major problems. (Manjaro dies randomly, but that's probably unrelated, and I had a hard time getting a burner to work with the Mint ISO)

 

i7 2600, 16GB ram, H61 board with a 3GB 1060 and several HDDs/SSDs.

I wondered that too, but wouldn't it make other operating systems fail too? Windows Vista works absolutely flawlessly, if only it was still supported. Linux installs as well, and I've tried removing the sticks of RAM. Not too thoroughly, perhaps I'll try again.
