New PC - Strange Fresh Windows 10, Click Enough And It Will

[kat123kat]

I've never seen this odd behavior in my life. Please help me. I believe this is related to the core issue of the problem. Let me set the scene: newly built PC, fresh install of Windows 10 with only the necessary drivers for the motherboard installed. I open up Edge to get the installer for the Discord application and go onto Nvidia's website to get the newest drivers for my graphics card. I'm sitting here with fresh Windows 10, nothing installed, just a blank desktop with just two installers, Discord and Nvidia. I click on the Discord installer and it crashes with some Java error. Okay, fine, I think, it's a fresh install of Windows. I restart the computer and try again, but the Discord application installer crashes once more. Odd. I try again and it crashes again. So, I try the Nvidia installer, which loads up to 28 percent and crashes with some 7Zip CRC Error. I think, okay, really fun and great. I decide to look up the error but find nothing very helpful, and I don't follow anyone's advice. I decide in that moment, 'I WILL INSTALL THIS.' For the next 20-30 minutes, I click on the installer and it crashes every time. But, someone one time said something about not giving up, so I just keep clicking. I click one last time, get up, and run around my house like a buffoon. When I come back to my computer later, the install has worked. I'm shocked. I ended up doing a similar thing for Discord, and the application eventually installed. I don't know what the heck is going on with this computer, but I really hope someone has a good reason for why that worked, even though it really didn't. I may have installed the drivers and Nvidia and Discord, and even a game eventually, but the game and Discord crash after opening. Discord opens for 2 minutes, then crashes, same with the game. So, I may have won and installed them, but they don't work. Please help, this is too odd for me.

You want the best experience in windows? Then first, disable armoury crate in BIOS. Check BIOS version, you'll need this later when installing or updating Intel management firmware and driver.

Then:

Reinstall, but this time, don't connect internet. Have drivers + DDU portable ready on the same flash drive you use for windows. Make a folder called driver or something.

After installation. Don't let windows install drivers. When booting into windows the first time, don't connect internet.

Quickly launch DDU, go to options in DDU and mark, prevent windows update from installing drivers, the close DDU, then: 

Press Win+E to open the File Explorer
Right-click on ‘This PC’ and go to Properties
Click on Advanced System Settings and select the Hardware tab
Click on Device Installation Settings
Select ‘No, let me choose what to do’
Check the option ‘Never install driver software from Windows Update’ and press ‘Save Changes‘ and then OK

Then Observe if GPU driver has been installed (if Nvidia control panel is on the PC). If Yes launch DDU, in safe mode (DDU will prompt on launch, select safe mode).

After restart. DDU will open again, choose clean and restart for GPU, Nvidia. 

 

After restart, If you have installed the newest BIOS,  install Intel management driver from Asus, install chipset drivers.

Restart. Install sound drivers, network drivers and then Nvidia drivers.

So I did a fresh windows 10 install again, followed your steps, same issue when clicking to install Nvidia it starts loading to 48 percent and throws an error about 7Zip CRC. Again after clicking it for about 10 minutes it eventually installed.

Boost? Turbo boost?
