I have just upgraded my PC to the following components:
ASUS P97-Deluxe motherboard (without NFC and WFC)
Intel i7 4790K processor
ASUS Direct II CU TOP R9-280X graphics card
Thermaltake Toughpower 80 Gold 850W power supply
I have retained 3 Samsung 1TB hard drives, 1 Western Digital 200GB hard drive, and a Samsung DVD-ROM drive.
All power cables are connected correctly to the motherboard and graphics card, all SATA cables are connected to the 6GB/s port on the motherboard and to my hard drives, and the front panel is connected also.
I am able to load up the BIOS, but when attempting to boot Windows it crashes on the "Starting Windows" screen with the coloured logo fly-in.
I believe this is as a result of the motherboard driver, and have been attempting to boot from my Windows install disc in order to do a system repair with the new motherboard driver on a USB stick.
However, I continuously get a "Power I/O error" after the Windows install disc shows the "Windows is loading required files" progress bar, and I am unable to continue from there. It mentions that possible causes are a faulty hard drive/disc drive or an external drive being removed during use.
I can get Windows System Repair to come up and run through it's processes, but it cannot find a solution and kicks me back to the beginning every time.
Any insights that this forum can offer would be extremely appreciated.
