2-week old PC suddenly won't load past MOBO Splash Screen

[dylaneno]

Hey all,

I recently invested $2500 into a brand new PC, had a guy put all the parts together, and 2 weeks later... The PC (with a SSD - Windows 8.1 on it; a 1TB HDD; and a 4TB HDD) won't load past the MSI Motherboard "Guard Pro Classic" splash screen. I tried entering bios or running boot menu and it simply won't let me do anything. I'm waiting to hear back from the guy who built it, but if any of you have some advice, I'd very much appreciate it...as I'm kind of freaking out right now, lol.

Thanks

Try everything on the "sticky" checklist at the top of this thread. Reseat the memory sticks and double check all connections. If that doesn't work, try making a Windows or Linux rescue disc on a CD or USB stick and use it to boot a working OS. Then you can find out what's going on.

I have found it hard to get into BIOS when booting from SSD sometimes. They boot so fast you have to be very quick to get into your BIOS and such.
