I’m having s issue with a one of my new builds and I really don't know how to explain it but i will try my best below.

After installing all the hardware and Windows 8 my PC gets stuck in an Asus splash screen. My motherboard (M5A97 R2.0) and when I start the PC up I get passed the first Asus splash screen but then I get another Asus splash screen instead of the windows splash screen and gets frozen there. If I reboot the PC again I can get through just fine but instead of getting Windows Loading screen I get an Asus Loading splash screen.

I was wondering if anyone has seen this before. I have tried flashing the BIOS and updated all the system drivers. I have also reset the CMOS by removing the battery and I keep getting the same issue every time I restart the PC. Only after i restart the PC again does the PC let me go to windows but I i get an Asus loading splash screen instead of a windows splash screen when loading windows.

I don’t understand why this is happening.

Although incomplete - I know the second splash page is where the drives are identified and addressed. Try removing all but the C: drive and seeing if this has any impact on your ability to boot.

Also - ensure that the C: drive is in SATA 0, second in SATA 1 and so forth. It may sound silly - but this does help.

I believe the HDD is installed in SATA 5 and the DVD Rom in SATA 6. I Will try that and report back.

I figured out what was the problem. I have a USB Wifi adapter and once i removed it the PC started booting up fine. I figured that once i boot to windows i'll just connect the wifi adapter.
