I just built a new PC and I'm not very experienced. I used:
ASUS Z97 Sabertooth Mark 2
Samsung SH-224FB/RSMS 24X Internal DVD Writer
Samsung 2.5-Inch 250 GB 850 EVO SSD
Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5-Inch
It booted fine first time. I installed Windows 10 on the SSD, but it set the HDD as system reserve, so I swapped SATA ports and went to try and reinstall Windows (hoping that it would just use the SSD), but now I can't get past the BIOS. I tried clearing RTC RAM. I've been looking through the other BIOS settings but I seem to be completely stuck, and I don't know what I've done to cause this. I've removed my graphics card to rule it out (and to make it easier to swap ports again.) I've tried a number of different port combinations, but I'm not getting anywhere with that.
Is there anything else I can try? All three devices are showing up in the boot priorities.
