I got a product key from my University which saved me a lot of money that I would have spent on the cd. I turned a usb into a bootable usb with Windows 8 on it. The first set up went as planned. It downloaded windows, I entered all the necessary information and eventually ended up on the desktop.
When I was installing some drivers, I was prompted to restart. Unfortunately the computer does not boot to windows anymore. If I take the usb out, the screen shows the loading screen for a second before fading to black. If I leave it in, windows notifies me that there has been an error and prompts me to wipe the system and reinstall.
I've made sure to change the boot order in the bios so the SSD is first. I've also made sure that the os files are installed on the SSD and it is set up as the primary partition. I'm at a loss for what's causing this. Any help would be appreciated because right now because my new PC is basically dead in the water.
Here is my build if that helps at all: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/nYtFnQ
