Solve : need help with new build?

Answer»

i put a new pc togther i changed the boot order can access the bios but when i go to load my os which is windows 8.1 brand new it freezes on the first pop up with the 4 square logo and nothing more everything is new so thought maybe ive got a defective part ive now changed the motherboard, cdrom, hdd and my amd 4300 fx cpu and got the same thing anyone have any ideas? i dont know what else to do With another computer your can download a CD that will boot up your PC, if possible. But before you do that, some questions.
How did you install Windows 8?
Do you also have the CD that goes within he motherboard?
Can you boot the computer using any on-board video instead of the graphics CARD?



i havent been able to load windows it freezes when i try i have a fx4300 amd has graphic so no video card.and i have the motherboard disk like i SAID i just bought it all weird deal man i dont know what else to do
The first time you do an install it is better to not have another graphics card in  PLACE. I already asked you if the motherboard has its own video, If so, install with just that video device, not with the fx4300.
Windows 8 will install with a generic video device. Have you been able to do that?hmmm should i take the cpu out ists a amd fx4300 i do not have a graphics card
i went for a simple build motherboard is a gigabyte 78lmt-usb3 cpu chip is amd fx4300 has a asus cdrom wd 500gb hdd cooler MASTER 600 w power supply ram is kingston hyper genesis 2 sticks 8g each Quote

fx4300
Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought that was a PCI card taht has its own graphics chip.

So, you do get the BIOS screen OK and when you try Windows 8 it just stalls early during installation. Is that right?

Ignore what I said about a graphics card.
When you boot from the Windows 8 DVD, how far into the install do you get?

The above link is the normal way to install Windows 8 on a compatible machine. Do you do it that way?
Please read the link above. It has 10 steps. How far did you get?
it doesnt get to anything to download... i insert the disk and a black screen with the 4 square window logo comes up like its about to and it freezes nothing moreIt's not downloading...it's installing...2 different things.

What exactly does it say on this Win8.1 DVD and where's it from ? ?what part of it don't do anything but freeze when I put in the install disk do you not understand??it don't download or install it wont do anything other than bios and when I put in my windows disk it freezes right away on a black screen with a 4 square logo nothing more ive said this same thing a million times now its a new full windows disk bought from tiger direct by my house its new no boot leg stuff all stuff on the build is new Quote
What exactly does it say on this Win8.1 DVD ? ?

Does the HDD show up properly in the BIOS ? ?

No need to get snippy BTW...we're looking for answers.SORRY IM AT WORK LOL I GUESS IT DOES WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR? IT ALL LOOKS LIKE ITS ON I SEE IT ON THERE
its got me stumped lol I really don't get it

anyone got any ideas?When you install Windows 8 from  DVCD, it does not need to download anything. All of the installation comes from the DVD data. If the DVD is bad, or the player is worn out, it will not install.
Here are some typical screens of Windows 8 during install.

(The above is from a Google search and I saved it as a screen image.)
If it just stays blank, you have a hardware problem.
Test the DVD on another computer. You will be given a chance to abort the install.
Hope this helps.
