Hello, I recently started to build myself a PC and recently I've been having a string of problems with setting up the operating system.
My computer specs are a GIGABYTE 78LMT-USB3 motherboard, AMD A3 chipset, 4GB RAM, and a phillips CD/DVD IED drive (not sure what are the specs on them, made in 2004 though, still work well.) And a WD 1TB SATA drive.
Now I have all the cables I need for these devices, but there's one problem i can't seem to fix with my knowledge of computers.
Basically when I try to turn on the computer the power light will flicker and won't turn back on, I researched the problem and found out that it was in fact that my CD/DVD drive won't co-operate with my 1TB Hard drive but the CD Drive will work with my old 160GB Toshiba hard drive, now I know that I could use that hard drive but I can't. I want to install Windows 8.1 to the new hard drive and not to the old hard drive.
Sorry if I didn't make much sense... Been a long day.
But if anybody could give me any pointers on what to try and what not to I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
