Today I went about building a new PC using some old parts (GPU/RAM) from my last PC. Everything went fine, it boots up and I get to the BIOS. I started the OS install to my SSD and everything is fine until I get to expanding data. At 10% it hard locks (nothing progressed, mouse wouldn't move) so I reset.
This is when I found at the heatsink fan wasn't rotating (yes I'm an idiot) and it was due to it not being totally uncoiled from the heatsink itself (stock intel heatsink).
It boots up again everything works fine but now I get a bootmgr is missing error. I mess around with things nothing works, tried dban but didn't work will try again when I get fresh CDs.
I then tried putting in my old HDD and it loads up until the Windows is Loading screen then BSOD for half a second and restarts.
So where I'm at currently is the SSD needs to be wiped as it probably has fragments of a failed install causing the bootmgr is missing error. But also I'm guessing I have bad RAM due to the BSOD when starting up with my old HDD. I may try just loading my old HDD with one stick of ram and see how that goes. I'll also try memtest.
All in all I'm quite lost and don't know where to go from here which is why Im here.
As a side note here is my build http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1w8ux0/build_ready_1000_steamingrecording_pc/
