Ok guys, I'm hitting the end of my rope on this one, maybe some fresh eyes will help.
Hardware:
Mobo - ASUS maximus IV-Genz
RAM - (4x2)GB Corsair
CPU - 2600k
GPU - EVGA 660
So I was having problems a couple of months ago with a garage computer that I use very rarely, it's sort of made up of random parts i had from other builds and figuring the issue was due to a corrupted OS I reformatted and went to re-install Windows 7 64 again. Unfortunately I've got this message:
"Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error Code:0x80070570"
The DVD I'm installing from is burnt from a legit ISO download...so I figured it was damaged or something, I tried burning 2 other copies and still the same message.
1) My next thought was the burner...nope, not that, same problem with a different drive.
2) Then on to RAM...removed a stick and boom, install worked...sort of. I'm in the garage with no internet so I went through the phone activation for Windows and as I hit enter after finishing the code it BSOD. I tried it for a while without activating it and I quickly realized something was wrong, programs wouldn't install and I'd get random BSOD. Ran memtest on both sticks separately and both passed.
3) Ok, maybe the HDD, nope, same message on both the SSD and the 1TB HDD.
4) Now time to go deeper, pulled the CPU and replaced with a different one, nope, same message.
5) Motherboard swap...same problem.
6) Unplug all USB devices and go with just a keyboard...same message.
7) Swapped video cards...same problem.
8) install from USB...same problem.
I don't know what to do anymore...any suggestions? Win 7 default drivers maybe?
