Please help guys


I have a new PC built, meets more than the requirements of windows 8.
I have windows 8 pro on DVD, i put the disk in and turned on PC for first time, went on ASUS bios menu and booted CD from boot 0, and the windows 8 logo comes up with the blue screen.

Then when i put the product key in, it just crashed totally, its happened 3 times already, is there anything i need to do in the BIOS menu or anything to make it not crash???

Are you sure you are entering the right numbers? I know on my installation media, there are several numbers, which can sometimes be confusing. If you are absolutely positive, you may want to contact Microsoft support about an invalid product key for your product. There's nothing legal anyone on the forums can do to help you get a new product key :p
(well, other than buying you one)
As for BIOS, you shouldn't need to do anything more than what you already have.

I have tried many different product keys, starting with my proper one that i have, and it doesnt have any 0's so i know im putting it in correct.

But on the net it has some other people experiencing problems and changing some things on BIOS page or installing some drivers? Im not sure how to do this, i have the Asus motherboard CD and the SSD CD, im not sure if i need to install anything differently?

Maybe I'm not understanding your problem, but I don't see how a BIOS setting will affect you entering a product key. If the product key error is what's stopping you from installing Windows, then definitely contact Microsoft about a faulty product key.

Could you link me to what you're referencing? I tried looking this up, but so far I have not seen anything about drivers. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just would like to see what you mean.

We'll get this sorted out!

EDIT: I think I may have found the thread you were talking about. Have you tried disconnecting from the internet, rebooting, then reconnecting to the internet?
