[SOLVED] Fresh install of windows problem

[kingbowcat]

Hi, used media creator through pen drive to create a fresh install of windows. Before getting into setup of windows media creator I got a blue screen. So I go through with installing windows not keeping any files. But it kept old windows files in a seperate folder.

Now the first thing I do is download drivers for my Rx5700xt but it doesnt work and i get error 1603. It tells me to check system files through SFC on command prompt and this goes on to tell me I got corrupt files and unable to repair. What should I do? I used an OEM key so if I try reinstalling windows might not be able to use the same code?

Thanks

Choose a Windows Reset, it'll preserve your files and reinstall a clean Windows on top

I did it again after formatting SSD I want to install windows on and reinstalled. Still same issue. SFC says there's corrupt files it cannot repair. However this time my GPU driver installed.

AMD Ryzen 5 2600x
Gigabyte partner RX5700XT oc card
Samsung 850 Evo 500GB SSD- installed windows on this.
2x 16gb DIMM DDR4 @3200
B450 Tomahawk Motherboard
EVGA 650w QG

maybe reduce RAM speed to 2133Mhz and try a Windows Reset? might be your RAM isn't stable?

hi king , one of my pc did not come with op on disc even though it was a custom built one , this link is the one somebody gave me to do a media creation.

Obviously you have to use a spare or somebody elses pc , at some point you will see a prompt that says something like "use on another pc " , that's the option you need , after that just follow what the screens tell you to do.

Note...…. I have made mine but not used it yet so the next bit I am not sure about. I don't know if you need to tap F5 or F8 to get to boot (from usb) menu. Also , I saw one user say he had forgotten to write down his product key. He was told that somewhere during installation there is an option to say " I don't have a key " but please don't quote me on that as I just said I not run my tool.

I used media creator in the first place.. I used my laptop to create it.

turn off fast startup. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-10-a.html

Try using one stick of RAM and reinstall windows; switch if you still get errors

Ok I did the DISM restore thing like three times now the SFC doesn't find any errors. No blue screens yet either after fresh install. I also think part of the problem was I didn't format the hard drive I installed windows on and make it into one partition. I appreciate all the help though.
