Not booting...

So today I built my first ever computer. I installed windows 7 and it was cool. No issues what so ever. I then installed the drivers from the disk that was provided with my motherboard... Once it restarted after the installation it doesn't boot, it just stays on the windows flag.

Any suggestions?

Everything ok before you tried to install drivers from Mobo CD?

Can you press F8 and click on 'Last Known Working Configuration'?

Yeah it was working fine prior to that.

That has made it boot up pretty pronto... How bizarre...

Also, do mobos automatically have an Internet adapter for an Ethernet cable? When I wack the Ethernet in nothing happens. I tried to install LAN drivers but it hasn't done anything.

Could be a faulty cable?

If not, go to Devices and see if Ethernet is installed. If not insert Mobo CD and install driver from there.

Tried installing the drivers again and it done the job. Perhaps all the driver installations messed up when I rebooted it and it failed to do it effectively.

Done windows updates and lots of others with no problem. Tried to install the Intell Rapid Transfer thing and it's messed it up.
