Hi everyone,
Okay so this is my third question over the span of two days since I started building my first PC. I finished assembling everything and have booted up with a windows cd in the cd drive and after it says that it is loading windows, it gets stuck at the 'starting windows' screen, about halfway through the animation of the 4 colours (green, yellow, blue, red) flying in to form the windows log in.
Does anyone have any advice? I've been reading the repsonses to similar questions that people have been posting, but nothing seems to work. I tried resetting the CMOS, I tried testing with just 1 stick of RAM, I tried logging into BIOS to see that my HDD and optical drive are being detected.
Here's my specs: Core i7-4930k, Asus Sabertooth x79, EVGA geforce GTX 770, 1TB HDD, 16 (2 x 8GB) sticks of LP vengeance RAM.
I had to do the whole usb flashback BIOS thing, and it worked without any problems - or so it seems.
Any advice?
Thanks!
