I have a WS W680-ACE W680 LGA 1700 Motherboard, mounted in a corsair ATX case with a 1000 watt power supply. Intel Gen12 CPU, 32Gb DDR5 Corsair memory, 1 EVO970 1 TB SSD. The BIOS has been updated to 09-27-2024. The boot type is UEIF and I am trying to load Windows 11 Pro as a clean install. The install builds the image and readies all files and structure but fails at the last step. Microsoft error code is 0x8007025D and the POST code is A0. I can;t get past this step. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to complete? A return is NOT required as the MB is functioning as it should.

Hello, @Gunnytoo
The latest BIOS version for the Pro WS W680-ACE is 2802, released on October 6, 2023.
We recommend updating to this version and rechecking.
Regarding the Q-Code A0 error, according to the [Motherboard] Common Q-CODE (Error CODE) and Troubleshooting guide, it indicates "Boot up device abnormal," which seems consistent with the "0x8007025D" code.
Did you install Windows via USB? We suggest cross-testing with different USB devices.
Also, for related steps, please refer to [Motherboard] How to install Windows 11?
Thank you.

Read errors might come from bad usb pendrive, or downloaded windows installation files that are corrupted.
Use another Good USB pen drive like sandisk 3.0 , download windows 11 23h2 iso from Microsoft website and then create a Windows bootable pen drive using Rufus software.then do a clean installation.
