So I just built a computer, everything brand new.
Posts perfectly, 1 nice beep, go the bios and everything looks good, temps, processor and memory all recognized and look good, recognizes the 1 hard drive and DVD burner.
So anyway the first time I try installing windows, the GUI comes up and after agreeing to the terms and hit next and is going to go the next step installing windows and the cursor is now a spinning disc and just sits there. After maybe 10-15 mins I try restarting(should've gave it longer but haven't had that happen), Anyway, now when it starts up and boot from device, get the install bar At the bottom and then the starting windows with the waving logo and then goes blank screen with moveable cursor.
When the screens black the HDD light stays solid then blinks off and back on once then stays solid again for few seconds before blinking again, and I swear I see the caps light come on occasionally as well. Pretty damn sure this HDD is DOA -edited in
I think the hard drive is bad is what I'm guessing but after doing research, people mainly have come across this problem after they've had windows installed, so now I'm thinkin there could be a way to fix it.
Please help and thank you so much!!! I'll send you 5 bucks by mail or deposit it directly in your account or paypal or if you got b of a ill do electronic transfer or however works for you. Sorry I'm broke now or I'd offer more, but much appreciated in advance!
