Hi Everyone!
I'm trying to install the Windows 8 Release Preview x64 on my desktop and it won't finish the install. I know, I'm late to the party.
Here's what happens:
I get past the first step just fine. I pull the flash drive I'm installing from out so it booted from the hard drive. It keeps installing. When it reaches the end, it restarts, but all I get is black screens. I left it alone for ~30 minutes and nothing happened.
My desktop:
Asus Crosshair V Formula
AMD FX-8150 Overclocked to 4.2Ghz
16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1866Mhz RAM
2 x EVGA 670 4GB
Mushkin 240GB SSD
I'd bet this is a hardware problem, but I can't get into the desktop to see what's wrong. I've also tried disabling some of the onboard chipsets to see if they were the problem (The network chipset, audio chipset, USB3.0 chipset, I even set the chipset to IDE from SASI), but it didn't help. I still get nothing but black screens.
Final notes: I did do a clean install. My previous OS was Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone.
