I haveq just finished building my pc and all the fans come on and LEDs and the monitor comes on but the it says " reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in a selected boot device and press a key" what's going on :-(

Thanks for any help.
 
It's a gigabyte d77 I think. I don't think it gives me chance. As soon as I turn it ok it goes to that screen. Is there supposed to be any screens before that message? I almost got into the bios once. Dunno what i did but it come up with gigabyte screen and had some options to configure boot sequence and stuff but my keyboard stopped working so I had to restart my pc and then I couldn't get back on :-(.
 
I frikin love you guys. You was right it was very fast but got it in the end. Installing windows now so thank you. i have a few more questions if that's ok. Firstly how do I install to a ssd card as when I'm trying to install windows it's asking me where I want to install windows but when I click load drive it can't find one?
 
Ok I have even changed my sata thing to ACHI but it still doesn't find it. Is there a certain sata port I must have the ssd in? Do I need to format it using another computer before I can install windows?
 
Fixed it. I had to do a lot of digging around the Internet but what I had to do was download a program called parted magic. Burn it to a cd. Boot from the cd and secure erase my ssd. Then I tried to install windows again and it was immediately recognised.
 
Corsair 128gb. I have a few more questions lol so bare with me. I just want to make sure I have set everything up correctly. With my grfx card hd 7850 the power connector that came with it had to 4 pin plugs. I have connected 2 power cables to this. One for each 4 pin connector. Is this right? Because on each power cable from my psu there is about 3 different plugs along the cable. And there is 2 4 pin connectors and a little small connector at the end of the cable. Was I supposed to use both of the 4 pin connectors on the one power cable or did I do it right using 2 separate power cables?
 
Ok thanks. I have another problem lol. I can't access the Internet. As the little wifi dongle I have I don't have the driver cd so I tried connecting my pc to the router via Ethernet but nothing happens and the led for the Ethernet pot doesn't light up. Is the Ethernet port somehow faulty or do I have to activate it in the boos or something. Ever other port works as far as I can tell.
 
I'm using windows 7. Do you think that is the problem then. I just need to download the drivers? How do I install the drivers once they are downloaded. Do I do it in the bios or from within windows?
