Hey guys! I just built my first computer and it turns on fine and I can get into the BIOS. In the BIOS I switched it to boot from my cd drive instead of the HDD. It then reboots and tells me to press any key to continue which I do and then it endlessly reboots almost immediately after that. I am using a fairly new 1 TB HDD with an already installed copy of windows on it but I'm installing a new copy of windows onto it for this build.

EDIT: Immediately after I pressed a key to continue I spammed enter and was able to get to the windows installation part, not sure if things will work this way though?
EDIT2: Okay, so I installed windows and have updated and everything seems to be running fine... not sure what the issue was? Hoping everything will continue to run smoothly.

This is the build I went with:

Solution
After you get through the first part of the Windows install once the pc re-boots you need not "press any key" again. Let it go and it will load again. If you have gotten it to boot without the CD and all updates set it will be fine.
