I just built my new gaming rig. I have an Asrock z77 Extreme4 ATX Motherboard , i5 3570k, 2x4GB Low profile Corsair Vengeance RAM, 750W Corsair PSU, 128GB Samsung Pro SSD, Nzxt Phantom Case

The problem I have is when after I POST and its just about to boot up a message appears saying "BOOTMGR is missing - Press ctrl-alt-delete to restart."

I opened up BIOs and it looks like everything is detected. i5, 8gb ram (even though its at 1300 mhz should be 1600) and even my SSD is detected.

I was using my ssd on my old computer and had windows 7 installed on it etc. Right when I put my computer together I put my windows 7 cd into my optical drive and booted up. Went to the windows 7 installation screen and got to the point where it shows your drives. I then plugged in my SSD and hit refresh. It showed my SSD with 60 GB left (because I didnt erase it). I then deleted that partion and created a new one then restarted and it went to the windows 7 installation screen and started setting up windows. It got stock on windows updates (I think thats what it was called) and stayed at 0%. I then restarted my new computer and thats when the error popped up "BOOTMGR is missing - Press ctrl-alt-delete to restart."

I've literally tried everything;or atleast I think I did. Messed around in my bios etc. Still got the error. This is where you guys come in ! I absolutely need you're guys help on this. Trying everything you can and then getting an error message isnt fun. Especially after spending a thousand dollars on your machine. As always, thanks and hopefully I can get through this !
 
Partition and format the ssd with all other hard drives disconnected

Were you connected to a router when you were trying to run the update?
If not select the option to not update

The no bootmanager message is just telling you the BIOS cant find windows. Not surprising since you havent installed it yet .

You will probably have to apply an XMP profile [ in BIOS ] to get your RAM to 1600 Mhz . Do that after you install windows
