    How do I get my friends computer working?


    I've been building a computer for a friend and I keep getting the Error code: 0x8007025D when trying to install windows. I've tried all the usb ports, tried unplugging unnecessary usb devices, tested all the ram, and got a completely new ssd. I've used different usbs and reinstalled the installation media many times. Im going crazy and feel very bad for delaying my friend getting their computer. Their computers specs consist of the motherboard, PSU, ddr3 ram, xeon e5 1650 v2 from a hp z420. Along with a 1650 and a 1tb WD blue 2.5" sata ssd. This error occurs every time windows 10 is attempting

    Building a computer for a friend

    Any reason for listing the 3820? Socket 2011 is total overkill for what your looking for. Socket AM3+ would be more appropriate.

    My build suggestion, just pick a case your friend likes the looks of. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/17UJv

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

    Friends computer crashing

    Hello, my friends computer keeps crashing when ever he tries to play SC2 ( or anything that involves extensive videocard use) , I think he has a GT280X. I'm not sure if its a heat issue, or damage to the card, or what. Any suggestions on what could be the problem?
