Question Fresh install not working - Error Code 0x8007025D

[Robert Glenny]

Hello,
Recently, my PC had been working fine till one day it restarted and would consistently go off and on. After a while of trying to figure out the reason why it was doing this, I decided to just do a fresh installation of Windows 10. I had reformatted my SSD and tried to install Windows 10 with the USB stick I had recently got. The new version of the Windows Media Creation was used. However 80% into it preparing it, it had given me the Error 0x8007025D, preventing me from fully installing windows.
I have chkdsk but the SSD had no issues, I have tried multiple USB's to no avail. Ultimately I am stuck on what to do.

Specs:
CPU - i5-6600k
GPU - GTX 1060 6GB
RAM - 8GB
Power Supply - CX 550
SSD - Sandisk 480GB

List your current specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS: version for Windows 10

How old is the PSU? Area all USB's tried of the same capacity(above 8GB)? Latest BIOS for your motherboard?

From what I read, this is an error generated by Windows when you are attempting a clean reinstall of Windows 10 from a USB drive, often from a computer upgraded to Windows 10. The work around is to set the boot order in the BIOS to DVD first, reboot and then bring up the one time boot menu and choose USB. Hopefully this will work.

This website has some info on that error - seems to be a common error when reloading Win10

Your issue initially sounded to me like an hardware problem, maybe a memory module.
Some viruses can cause systems to reboot unexpectedly.
