So now I can't even get the bios to recognise the new drive and my mobo logo screen is hanging for like 30 seconds, and occasionally it'll just go to a black screen with a9 in the bottom right corner with a mouse cursor in the middle which won't move. I bought this new drive to replace my older...

Does appear in the bios. Umm, disk management? I have no windows install. And it won't show up on the windows install CD.

So has no one got any idea on how to get this sorted? I really don't want to be without a pc for a few days.

What does RMA the drive mean? I'm not the dumbest but any of your solutions would you mind elaborating on how to do it please?

So no one knows anything? I can't use the drive until this is done obviously, but I've never used cmd on the windows 7 install disk before, so when it cuts out mid cmd format I'm lost on what to do. I can't get windows 7 install to pick up the disk, so I really don't know what to do. I have no...

Install Media won't even show it, it just appeared again and I tried to do the process again, I get to clean and I get "virtual disk service error: the object has been deleted". And it wouldn't let me install Windows on it unless I did partition it due to some sentence I can't quite remember. So...

I should probably add I was following:DiskPart <ENTER> list disk <ENTER> select disk 0 <ENTER> clean <ENTER> create partition primary align=1024 <ENTER> format fs=ntfs <ENTER> (Will Take a While) assign <ENTER> active <ENTER> exit <ENTER> exit <ENTER>

So, I received my WD 1TB Black today, and I knew that I'd have to partition it to install Windows onto it. So I open up windows 7 install via disk, and I run cmd and clean and partition the disk, then format, now I know format takes a long time, and at about 10% I had a power cut. Now whenever I...

So....this is embarrassing....when I was younger, like 14 I knew more about PC's than I do now. Never OC'd though, but I tinkered with the BIOS earlier and just used my BIOS OC'er cause idk what half of it means and I'm running at 4.3ghz without touching the voltage at all. By negative thermal...

EVGA G2 by farrr. Not only is it made my SuperFlower, the amazing 10 year warranty is pretty neat too, say's a lot about their products, at least over here in the UK.

AMD OverDrive gives me somewhat different temperatures from SpeedFan. But idling at about 40 with a Liqtech 240 CPU cooler under no load is kinda, acceptable? Also, it shows thermal margin, im guessing that's how much more it can go before throttling or something?

Eh, RAM is RAM, and my system doesn't crash or anything, so spending money on RAM isn't my priority at the moment, lost my job and the UK job market is...well..very very bad. I just thought it'd run cooler, but I suppose it isn't exactly an intel so it would run hotter.

So, recently just built this PC after my other one finally gave out after struggling for so many years of neglect. My specs are as follows: Asrock 990FX Fatal1ty Killer Mobo Amd FX-8350 OC to 4.2ghz but running Cool'N'Quiet ...some kind of RAM, ran out of money so re-used it, 2gb of Corsair and...
