Thanks, I did check and it is indeed SATA.

Thanks for the tip, I have tried that before. When I use the sata1 Kingston device I get the message "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"

Well I already purchased windows 8 since I lost my old disk and don't have a seperate computer to download anything to usb or cd. I'm trying to do an install of windows 8 from a cd onto a brand new SSD. It is also the only SSD currently hooked up. I've tried unplugging my power and draining...

Hello all, Typing this from my phone. Here's what happened... I had updated to Windows10 a couple weeks ago. Everything was running smoothly until my most recent NVidia gfx driver update. It seemed to stall at 99% completion and then I lost the sound to my computer. After numerous attempts to...

Thanks I appreciate the help! This computer was my first build and only a month old so I was quite concerned! In retrospect there was no heat that felt like anything even close to the max 75*C that my graphics card was pumping out, let alone 130*C. I got nervous about that too but finding out...

This is my first attempt at building a computer, my limit for everything(including keyboard and monitor etc.) is $1500, preferably under. I'm looking for advice on anything that I might be missing(sound card), or if there are just simply better parts I could be using. This is the link to the...
