i bought a new PC and have an

AMD A10-7850k
A55BM-A/3.0
Kingston HyperX black 4gb DDR3 2133MHZ x 2 = 8GB
1TB WD Blue HDD 72000 RPM
500gb WD Caviar 5000 RPM
Thermaltake Chaser A31


now i have tried to install 3 different Windows 8 and 8.1 OS the windows 8 64 i have paid for before and i can confirm it works....i goto install and it gets to the install screen when it just freezes. i tried an illegal copy of windows 8 and it does almost the same error and freezes at the loading screen.

i have tried a new optical drive and still no effect also i tried using windows 7 64 bit and it just wont install ( my dad has payed for this copy)
