Hi Guys,
I recently built my very first PC and everything went perfectly until I hit the power button for the first time. I always end up at a black screen with a message that says "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key". I went into the BIOS to ensure that the optical drive was the primary boot device since I am trying to install Windows 8.1 OS from a disc, but I still end up at the same black screen with the reboot message. Also, a red LED on the motherboard remains lit, after checking the manual I found that the LED is a "BOOT_DEVICE_LED". I've checked and rechecked all cable connections. Also, There is no POST beep even though the speaker is installed.
Specs:
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition
Ram: 2 x 8 Gb
Video Card: Sapphire Dual-x 100314-4L Radeon HD 6970
HDD: Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB
SSD: OCZ ARC-100 240GB
