System specs:
AMD 8350
8(4gbx2)gb crucial ballistix
970 Extreme3 R2.0 Asrock mobo
120gb Samsung 840 evo SSD
evga 8800gt

I just bought the 8350, mobo, and ssd. Trying to install a fresh copy of Win7, already went to UEFI setup->Advanced->Storage Config->SATA Mode AHCI Mode.

The problem is, when installing, after the "completing installation" section and a restart, it shows the windows logo, then goes to a black screen with a blinking underscore. I have tried a different install disk with the same luck. Anyone have any ideas?

You can try memtest x86 to see if you can boot or you can try booting ubuntu (linux) off a flash drive or installing linux and seeing if it boots correctly with ubuntu installed.

Dont worry if you dont know what ubuntu is! its not that complicated.
