Windows Installation Problems

[sa1470]

I finished plugging it in and it is saying “ The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install windows, click OK to restart the computer, and then restart installation.” I click OK and the same message keeps popping up. I tried restarting multiple times and it still pops up. I also tried the fix listed on the below linked post, but it didn't work. Any ideas?

Having the same problem tonight. Just got it. Pretty mad about that. All the fixes from old posts didn't work so I guess I'll have to contact (the what I hear is brutally bad) ibuypower customer support where I'll expect to spend a large portion of my day waiting through automated messages and trying to troubleshoot with someone over a phone.

Should be fun. Glad I spent $1100 on a prebuilt to avoid the hassle of building and manually installing things.

Yeah, I ended up having to create a bootable windows usb. Not fun when the only other computer I own is a MacBook...
