Hi everyone,
So today I built my very first PC, I've upgraded before but never built from scratch. After installing every part cautiously, I turned it on and successfully got to the Bios setup screen thing.
Problem: When I boot the computer, it has a bunch of options, like F2 for UEFI setup, F11 for boot menu, etc. Now I know that when you have a new PC, you're supposed to boot from the windows DVD to install it, right? But I'm moving the SSD from my old PC into my new one, which already has windows on it, so I should be right to boot from that, shouldn't I?
So I accessed the boot setup menu, and put Samsung SSD as the top priority, above HDD and DVD drive. I boot it, and I just get a black screen with "Reboot and Select proper boot device..." It sounds like it's trying to boot from the DVD drive, so I disconnect both that and the hard drive so that the SSD is literally the only boot option, yet I still get the same error and now I can't even access the BIOS menu.
Am I doing something wrong? I still have the windows CD, do I need to install it again? Seriously any help would be greatly appreciated.
Quick specs:
i5 6600k
Gtx 1060 windforce OC
Asrock Z170 Extreme 6+
Antec 650W PSU
Samsung Evo 750 250gb
