[SOLVED] Asus self build won't stay on for more than 5 mins

[thornton_chris1]

Hi,

I've just built the following and am tearing my hair out because it won't stay on for more than 5 mins. I can't get Windows to install because it just bums out while trying.
Has anyone got any tips or suggestions?

Windows being installed off a USB

ASUS Prime B450M-K Micro ATX Motherboard (I've updated the BIOS)
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Processor
Western Digital WDS500G2B0A WD Blue 3D NAND Internal SSD 2.5 Inch SATA, 500 GB
Corsair VS650 650 W Active PFC 80 PLUS Certified Power Supply Unit (I've tried just using one stick of RAM)
2 of Corsair CMK8GX4M1A2400C16 Vengeance LPX 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4 2400 MHz C16 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop Memory Module
MSI NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1050Ti 4GT OC Graphics Card

I either get a blue screen saying it ran into problems, or I get "Windows cannot install required files. Make sure that all files required for installation are available and restart. Error code 0x8007025D"

The funny thing is that when I take one stick of RAM out, it lasts double the time before it crashes. Not sure if this is pointing at a RAM issue or not.

Thanks

Chris

Where did you get your installation media from?

You can try and run memtest, to check if your ram is ok. Did you do a CMOS reset, after the bios update? Is the version of windows, that you are trying to install, the latest and greatest, from media creation tool?

I'm using an old USB stick with a new Windows 10 install on it which I downloaded today. The WesternDigital SSD came from Amazon.
