Hi everyone, this is my first post having found your site. I'm looking for some help.
A while back I had a CPU failure and decided to upgrade, but couldn't really afford to upgrade more than my CPU. As the title states I have an older Asus Sabertooth 990FX 2.0 motherboard(used, ebay), a MUCH OLDER Radeon R9 295 liquid-cooled video card(used, ebay), and 16gb stock no-name RAM(local computer store). I have this in a decent CoolerMaster HAF case(local computer store). Well my 8320FX failed so I decided to upgrade to the best CPU I could find. I didn't read enough before going with the 9590 FX though! After installing it(used, ebay) under the existing CoolerMaster liquid-cooling unit(used, ebay), it promptly did nothing. After a few hours of research I came to the conclusion that my 750 watt power-supply just wasn't enough. So I saved up and installed a 1200 watt Thermaltake power-supply(used, ebay). I have a 500gb SATA HDD(used, ebay) and a LG SATA DVD writer(local computer store). I have the DVD plugged into one of the 6 'brown' SATA ports(AMD serial ATA 6gb/s), and the HDD plugged into one of the 'white' SATA ports(JMicron serial ATA 3gb/s).
I powered the rig up and it booted to BIOS. It continued on and recognized all the hardware, and recognized the Windows 10(Home) DVD in the drive. I began Windows installation, but it cannot complete. it keeps stopping near the end with an error message that an installation file is corrupt or missing. I attempted with both of my purchased Windows 10 DVDs(local computer store), but get the same failure. Does anyone have any ideas about why it would do that? Should I get a different HDD?
