Hello, i am getting disk boot failure, whenever i try boot my SYSTEM, i just got new ram, and a screen, weird thing is, it happened as i changed to the ram, however, now no ram works at all, i have tried to load bios in fail safe, still does it, i insert the disk, and it leads me to the windows install screen, i cant repair anything at all, it won't install windows on a new clean hdd either, unless i put it to ahci in the bios settings, after that, when it is done unfolding, and reboots, it gives me a disk error orcurred. I checked all the cables, tried the new and old ram, changed the boot order in bios, i tried loading 1 stick of ram in both sockets. The new ram i got is corsair dominator premium 1600mhz my motherboard is gigabyte ga-h55m-d2h, its windows 7 64bit, the old ram sticks Are just 1333mhz kingston, i then have a 7700 super oc gfx. The processor I5 760 2.89ghz.
Right now i do not know what to do, is it possible its the motherboard, i have had some issues with windows idling long before booting, and sometimes the sound when it was working, it froze, and didnt boot for 20min, whenever i clicked on something in the audio control, it froze for a longer time. Btw the error i got when i boot from cd and GET to the install screen, running bios in ide, gives me a disk controller error, which is where i need to change to ahci.

Anyway, any additional information ask.
Is it possible i need to replace my mobo? Or is the new ram faulty? Did they destroy the sockets? Hi

Try re SEATING the sata cables at the motherboard and hard drive first.
