Windows will not clean install


scraft162

Question

Hi - so I'm out of ideas on this one! New build PC, moved m.2 drive over from old PC and basically running fine, but looks like a few minor display driver issues so decided to do a clean install of Windows. Created the installation media USB via the Windows tool and I get this when booting from the USB:

Recovery
Your PC/Device needs to be repaired
The digital signature for this file couldn't be verified.
Error code: 0xc0000428

Never had this before! Here's what I've tried, all with exactly the same result:

  • Checked UEFI bios is on. CMS and secure boot are disabled.
  • Used USB directly in back of motherboard. Recreated the Windows installation media. (USB stick is 64gb and Windows partitions to 32GB. I used this same stick to clean install Windows a couple of months ago on the old system (same m.2 drive) and it worked fine. Hasn't been used for anything since so doubt the stick is to blame.)
  • Disabled EXPO and put ram to JEDEC settings.
  • Removed one stick of RAM (to leave single stick of 16GB in slot B2).
Let me know any ideas as I'm out!!
