First, let me list what I have:

Asus Sabertooth 990fx motherboard
Kingston HyperX 16gb RAM (2x8gb)
AMD FX 8320 Black Edition 8 core
Thermaltake TR2 RX 750w Bronze PSU
WD 250 gb HDD (OS on this one)
WD 500 gb HDD

So, now the issue. I upgraded my processor and upgraded my RAM. I was running 4 4gb sticks but I am trying to max out at 32 gb so I switched to the two 8 gb sticks and plan to get the other two in a few weeks.

After initial install, nothing would happen. The monitors, mouse, or keyboard would get a signal. Put my old CPU back in, worked fine. Did some research and found that the BIOS needed updated to support the new CPU. Flashed the BIOS with the proper update successfully and the PC will now boot up but....it is stuck in the repair loop.

I have done the bootrec /fix#### with no luck. Even with the old CPU in it does this. I'm stumped.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, so I went ahead and installed a new HDD and put OS on it. I can access my original HDD but is there anyway to have the new OS look in that HDD for the drivers and to still allow me to access my programs from the new OS/HDD? Maybe just have short cuts or something?
