Hello,
The other day I ordered a new motherboard for my computer, a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 for my 8 core AMD FX 8350 at 4GHz stock speed. When I took out my old motherboard and put in my new motherboard, everything worked out fine. However, today when I tried to overclock it (that's the reason I bought this new motherboard), something went wrong and now Windows doesn't load from my SSD. I went from an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 to the aforesaid motherboard. I followed JayzTwoCent's overclocking video from about a year back (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MckeAmnDeTk) I'm not sure what point I got to in the video, but it was after the voltage set, I know for sure. Since then I've reset the defaults of the motherboard so it's on the same settings it came with.
After talking to a tech-smart friend I've come to the guess that it is my SSD that's having the problem. When I try to repair it w/ the Windows CD I get an error saying that my version of Windows can't be repaired (Windows 7 HP SP1), which I have no clue what it means by it and why it happened. I tried putting my SSD in my parent's PC as a primary and secondary drive, both times I received the same error as when it was in my PC, saying my install of Windows is broken. This is the error I get when booting on my PC: http://i.imgur.com/5MhUPhk.jpg. I would try address the file error if I could get my PC to boot... I tried to install Windows on my other 2 HDDs, but that didn't work either. Any ideas / suggestions / help? It's greatly appreciated! I feel like an idiot spending $130 on a new mobo, just to f*** my PC up the day after I get it in!
Specs:
FX 8350
XFX R9 280
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
8GB Kingston HyperX Red
Mushkin Chronos 240GB SSD
