Hi guys,
Just finished installing a new processor, SSD and new RAM and i am having problems booting.
The computer shows the motherboard splash screen, followed by the POST screen but then just shows a black screen with a flashing '_' in the top left hand corner before going completely black and starting again by showing the splash screen again a few seconds later. It just contines to loop like this.
It seems to boot and POST ok (although no beeps) and i can still access the BIOS. It detects the new RAM and SSD and reports no issues with them, however, the processor shows up as 'AMD processor model unknown'. I dont know if thats normal or not, or if it will make any difference.
I am trying to boot into my old HDD (NOT the SSD) which already has windows installed. I have also tried changing the boot order in the BIOS as well as trying to boot from the windows CD.
The mobo is a Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P, the RAM is Kingston Hyper-X Grey (4x4gb sticks) and the SSD is a Crucial M4 64GB.
If anyone could offer any help in solving this problem it would be great.
Thanks,
Doug.
