just installed my new wc kit, everything fine, went to load up the pc and it hangs on either entering bios or loading windows? any ideas??

Hard to say, but I'd start with a thorough check of all cables, connections, make sure you're not shorting anywhere. Make sure hdds are spinning, etc. And good luck.

when it enters bios have you checked everything is correct within the bios? Check all connections and remove anything you do not need for now. Check to see the MB isnt shorting (no stray bits of metal shorting it out).

Set bios to defaults.

Boot into safe mode.

Try those and come back with results.

Nice one

A bit of testing for stability would be my next step.
