I may have gotten myself into some trouble with this one. A while back I put windows 10 technical preview on my machine, as well as windows 8. Come a while later it is time for windows 10 to come off, but am having some trouble with my hard drive partitions. I have two hard drives. One is an...

we ended up just splitting out parts to other builds (my roommates and I have 5 desktops, a home server, a htpc media server, and a graveyard of computer parts/junk. we had a mac mini laying around that took this computer's niche. Thanks for the advice though, Paul NZ. I think what happened was...

Will take it out of it's case. I'll have to get back with updates and the processor tomorrow. I believe its an i3 4330. Don't know for sure though. It's a 4th gen i3 but the exact model number is only known to one of my roommates who fell asleep. I appreciate your help. I'll be back on the forum...

HDD model number is ST1000DM003. will try enabling when we get our video signal back.

I assumed you meant the cmos battery? we removed and reinstalled it, still nothing. We recently procured a new problem however. We get no video signal. I believe this to be unrelated, but can't rule that out completely. Everything turns on still. fans spin up, lights turn on, hdd spins up, dvd...

windows 7 64 bit, 1 TB seagate barracude, msi h81m-e33 (dont hate on the choice, we got it mostly out of desparation), yes it supports uefi

repair pc is not an option. there actually aren't any selectable options. picture 2 and 3 are in an infinite loop with one another. picture one appears sometimes but it is less common

As stated in the description, all of the partitions on the hard drive were deleted and the hard drive was reformatted. Actually, for good measure, in the command prompt on another computer, I cleaned the disk in diskpart, reinitialized the hdd, and reformatted.

update: for good measure, in the command prompt on my computer, I cleaned the disk, reinitialized and formatted the HDD, then put it back in the computer were trying to build. However, after I did this, our new computer doesn't send any video signal. and the USB ports don't seem to be functional...

Windows 7. and yes the bios recognizes the hdd, and windows recognized it for that matter, just couldn't install to it

I don't even know. I've become exhausted trying to figure this out, so now I'm looking to the forums for help. We (roommates and I) were putting this computertogether a couple of weeks ago, were getting to the windows install (but never actually installed windows), when the motherboard stopped...

Ahhh thank you clutchc!

I've tried looking on guides on how to set it up, but everyone only has two drives. I guess the worst thing that could happen is I plug in the SSD, and find that SRT won't let me select the drives, and then I turn SRT off. Thanks for the answer though, that gives me some reassurance. I'll be...
