Unfortunately, turning off core isolation didn't fix the issue for me either. I had forgotten about core isolation and so got the failure on my first installation attempt. So I disabled it, rebooted, also had overclocking disabled in BIOS. Got a different failure message that time, the "Error, Driver Version Fail !" one. So I'm going to try an installation from within the BIOS. I'll report back.
I am still running bios v1.2.1 on my R13. Just tested v1.7.0, and I noticed running Cinebench R23 that the power throttling on the i7 isn't as severe. On v1.2.1 it will throttle down to about 150watts, where as on v1.7.0 it throttles down to about 200watts. I also noticed the core voltage dropped from 1.4 to 1.3, which is what I was manually doing on the older bios.
Has anyone had any issues with v1.7? Maybe I will stay on that one.
What's the point of not updating when you're asked to do so? It's always indicated that you're putting yourself at risk by not having an up-to-date bios. Not to mention that the bios works with AWCC unless you don't use it. Changing the bios has never made me change the performance. And yet, I've been doing a lot of testing for my press articles since I've had the R series under test. After that, you can do as you want but you should know that you are not protected with a bios that is not up to date.

The USB BIOS update worked successfully for me.
