Hi,
I have completed my first computer build, I tried to take it nice and easy and didnt rush it. Had some teething issues but in the end I think I completed it all.
MY ISSUE: when I turned on the computer with the motherboard boot disc, the fans, lights come on, it beeps briefly, the screen comes on and an image from the disc appears briefly, then after about 2 seconds the screen goes blank with the words 'loading operating system...' it then hangs like this for about 3-5 minutes before the screen goes to sleep. The fans and computer are still on but nothing happens. Please don't assume I have missed anything obvious...
Any suggestions welcome... PLEASE... I'm already 6 hours into this process and if I had any hair I'd be pulling it out right now
Thanks in advance
Graeme
