Looks about right.

What do I do when I boot up?

Drop into the BIOS and check the temperatures aren't silly, and then get Windows installed and start using it.

And make sure ACHI is selected.

Windows Failed to load, I pressed the power button and now it wont go back on, has done it a few times

How far did the Windows install get?

How often are you getting the boot failure? Does it do nothing, or does it try and then get stuck at some point?

(Imagine that we're several hundred miles south and can't see what's going on.)

Stevo_1990 · 29 Sep 2012 at 04:19

It was after I powered off during install because I had my HDD in, The thing wont even turn on now..

Stevo_1990 · 29 Sep 2012 at 04:22

bremen1874 · 29 Sep 2012 at 04:24

40 is fine.

Im on the Install windows screen where #i can choose my language and time, But the mouse wont connect

bremen1874 · 29 Sep 2012 at 04:31

As suggested try different USB ports for the mouse. Preferably the old school black USB 2.0 variety.

If the mouse isn’t working you can complete the entire installation using just the keyboard.

Have you tried it in a different USB port?

Stevo_1990 · 29 Sep 2012 at 04:35
