Hello there! I built my first gaming PC back in november 2012 and havent had an issue till today. About a month ago i installed windows 8 (from windows 7.) I played a game of League of Legends and walked away after the game was done to make some coffee. When i came back my compiter.was frozen. Nothing was working. So i manually shut it down and turned it back on after 30 seconds and i got the "Reboot and select proper boot device" error i went on the forums and looked the problem up. I went intothe bios and changed my HDD to RAID hoping this would fix the problem. Well it kinda did. Windows detects a problem and tries to do a system restore. I click okay and it attempts to do its thing then it freezes with the windows 8 blue logo on a black screen and no loading circle. After 10 minutes it restarts and checks the disk for errors then tells me it couldn't repair my PC. Help?
