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!

Gigabyte 970A-UD3P mobo
AMD-FX4300 CPU
XFX R7 260x
G.skill ripjaw ddr3 1600
Corsair cx500watt
Western digital blue 1tb
Cooler master n400 case
Why don't I try reinstalling? I haven't successfully installed it in the first place.
Pretty sure the CPU is compatible.
And after about 10 mins of sitting on blank screen with cursor that moves, the HDD light goes and stops it's repetitive blink every 3 seconds. Now just blank.

It posts fine, I can go into bios, after post it says press any key to boot from cd DVD and then a bar goes across the bottom and then goes to starting windows with the flapping logo, RIGHT AFTER thAt I got a blank screen with a cursor I can move.
My HDD light will be solid and blink every 3-4 seconds and then After 15 mins or so the HDD led is off

Sorry bad pic but hopefully can see better on monitor. I can tell it happened when they were printing the model number and tried to move onto the next mobo too fast and scraped it

From this pics pov
The deeper part of the cut is actually closer to the flash, where u can feel it, the white is more like a scrape.

Argh sucks, building this for a good friend and at his house right now. There's a SSD on sale and just debating get that but it's gonna suck if this don't fix if and have to Rma the board. I would try the USB install and format tool but he just decided on the new hard drive lol. So now I'm just worried bout the board and the DVD rom drive and the cd however slight chance that is

See when I first started it up for the first time ever with the windows cd, everything was going fine, clicked next couple times and then selected the partition and was moving on to step 2 to install windows and the cursor was just a spinning disc. I thought it crashed right there cause nothing happened for 10 mins and so I turned it off. That possibly could've fuck it up there. But I've never been able to get back to that point. It'll boot up and try to start windows but just go to a black screen with a cursor I can move, right after the starting windows flapping logo.

The copper isn't 2mm thick. It depends on the PCB, but it's usually well under a millimeter.
The issue is that any kind of moisture on those lines could affect their capacitance, which would massively increase transmission errors to the RAM. Look at how carefully those traces have been designed; they're set up to be the exact right length.

I'll smell it later today when I go back over there, I forgot to do that but I did hear weird sounds that were coming from either the HDD or the DVD burner. Odd clicking sound. And like I said before when it comes up the blank screen the hdd led is acting in that repetitious way, solid for 3-4 secs then a quick blink and repeat exactly for like 15 mins then it's off. Could be nothin, just odd. As for the mobo scrape, it seems too minuscule after really looking at it and feeling it, but should I clean it with something like nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol and put something over it to protect it? Super glue?
Update-
Just got a SSD yesterday and gonna put it in today. Also brought my copy of windows to rule out the windows cd if need be. And brought another DVD drive just in case. So hopefully it's up n running today! I'll be back later with results
