Windows Install Error And No Display Output

[Aiden Mellinger]

Browser, version and OS: 

Windows 10

Steps to reproduce/what were you doing before it happened?

I was trying to install Windows on a new PC and got many error codes and blue screens before losing my display.

 

What happened?

I was trying to install Windows on a PC I just built, my second build. It booted up like normal so I finished up and put an 8 GB flash drive with Windows 10 media installer in the back of my new PC and booted it up. It brought me to the installer and I put in my key and selected my SSD. I got to about 80% when I got error code 0x8007025D and blue screened. I tried many times with and without my Windows key and formatting my SSD by following many YouTube tutorials, mainly the video below but I kept getting stuck with the same error code and blue screening. I left to do something for about an hour, and when I returned and turned on the PC without changing, touching, or moving a single thing, I could not get any display on my monitor. I tried moving the HDMI cable to a different port on my GPU, taking out a RAM stick, making sure all cables were plugged in, and using a metal flathead screwdriver to connect the CMOS jumper pins since I didn't have a jumper cap. It isn't a problem with my monitor because I am also using that for my other PC. Here are my PC specs:

 

Ryzen 3 3100

AMD Stock Stealth Cooler

Asrock B450 hdv Rev. 4.0

Corsair LPX 2x8GB 2400mhz

Teamgroup MS30 512GB

Asus Dual Rx 580 4GB

Sama Neview 4361

EVGA 450 BT 80+ Bronze 450W

Windows 10 Home

 

What did you expect to happen?

I expected to boot right into Windows since I had no previous problems on the boot and get-go.

Thanks for all of the help! I highly appreciate it.

so the sum you have blue screens while installing windows on the new system?

 

let's assume the copy of windows is not faulty

 

you might have hardware or bios issue

 

the easiest way is to boot into bios and look what is causing it, take a if RAM is the problem, frequncy set them to 2133 all, no profiles enabled, just everything raw. 

 

hopefully your gpu is doing okay and the third you might have too low wattage on power supply for your GPU. 

 

No matter how much less GPU consumes you need to follow strict minimum recommendations and usually even go above the specified recommendation. 

Had a high end gpu in the past that never consumed above 700W in total with a system, yet somehow it always crashed on me, because of the PSU wattage being too low and you cant avoid it, spikes will occur that might be why you are experiencing BSODs

 

get yourself a proper 850W or 1000W PSU for future proofing and be done with it.

a quick check on reddit. It seems that possibly it might be the RAM having an issue, try taking out one stick.

Or it could be the SSD is broken, but testing the RAM should be easy, just pick one stick and see if it boots.

I tried taking out one of the ram sticks and my pc booted! However though, when I try to install windows, I still get the same error code and blue screens alongside the setup not finding my drive even though it is plugged in.

When using a USB flash drive for a Windows install. Try using a USB 2.0 port. Anything above a 2.0 port can mess up Windows from installing.

if he has a modern MOBO that's not a thing anymore.  AFAIK most Windows OS support 3.0 now usually, it's that you should plug the USB into the motherboard.

you might need to get the driver set for your motherboard, and download something called chipset IDE or SATA from the manufacture website, place it onto your USB then find that driver when you get that error message again and use it to install windows.

EDIT:

Another step you could do is click cancel on that message, unplug the USB stick, plug it into another port and then see if it can install w/o error.

It can effect modern motherboards. It is worth a try at least.

I was able to get past that eventually but now I am stuck in a loop where I try to install Windows, get a blue screen, try again, and get error message 0x8007025D. If I will also try to set the driver for my mobo, as you said. 

 

Edit: I found a driver on their website called "SATA Floppy Image_CC ver:9.3.0.296". Is that what you are talking about?

 

Edit 2: I tried this and got to about 10% but then got error code 0xc0000005. I went into my bios and cleared my ssd before shutting down my pc. I haven’t tried again since.

what is your motherboard ? I can check for you to make sure you get the right thing.

I also am getting error code 0xC0000005 now. I tried this video below but it didn't work for me.

What ISO are you using to install windows? It could be corrupted. Are you trying to use windows 11 or 10?

Try getting the Media creation file from microsoft and see if that fixes it.

I am using a USB flash drive. I am trying to install Windows 10. Here is the Microsoft site I am downloading from:

Did you format the USB drive as NTFS? 

[Aiden Mellinger]

Yes, I think I tried to do that in Command Prompt
