I recently completed my first build from scratch.
Booted her up and have gone to install windows 8, via installation disc, but to no avail.
Once the disc has started to boot, it gets to a black screen with a blue windows logo.
Sometimes the white dots will appear in a circular motion, but eventually just freeze, and then nothing else happens, just stays like that.
Other times the dots don't even show up.
And just remains a black screen with the blue windows logo.
I've read to remove the disk whilst on this screen, so the error page comes up, and to press f8 and enter safe mode, and put disc in again, but this does not work either.
Pressing f8 did nothing, just remained on that page.
At this stage my ODD and HDD just stop doing anything.
I have updated to latest bios on MB.
I have removed 1 stick of ram as mentioned on another post, still nothing, still getting hung up.
I read somewhere to change HT multiplier to 1x, but my mobo only has HT speed, so I changed that to 800mhz instead of 2600mhz.
Probably nothing to do with it, but either way it didn't work.
Starting to get really frustrated so any info is appreciated !
