Just bought a new mobo and processor off of amazon. th

MOBO: http://www.amazon.com/M5A78L-M-LX-PLUS-Micro-Motherboard/dp/B005WUUFBW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414615043&sr=8-1&keywords=am3%2B+motherboard

CPU: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD8350FRHKBOX-FX-8350-FX-Series-Edition/dp/B009O7YUF6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414615056&sr=8-1&keywords=amd+8+core

I just installed them and now when I boot my machine, it just comes up with a black screen and blinking white cursor in the top left. I'm running Win 8, and I'm pretty sure that everything is plugged in right. I've tried moving each HDD to a different SATA port, and I've checked my BIOS and its seeing both HDD. It boots past the ASUS splash screen and stops. HELPPPPPPPPP.

Can you at least go into your BIOS? If yes I would think the operating system is the problem, so I would just reinstall windows. Sometimes when you install new hardware, your operating system may not get used to it and it may not like it.
