I just finished upgrading my computer. Got a new motherboard/ram/cpu, my gpu and hdd/ssd remain the same.
Connected the ssd because I want windows to boot off that and left the hdd out.
Did a delete then a format on the ssd before I tried to reinstall windows on it. Things were going fine with the installation until the restart. After the restart I get a black screen and nothing happens, and other times I get the screen asking to choose an operating system to start. Here I see 2 options of Windows 7s. I have clicked on both and both lead to a black screen. Sometimes I get the message that hardware changes were made and that I would need to insert a windows cd to repair or do a fresh install (which I have already done).
A few times after the windows installation restart I get a screen that says 'A disk read error occurred press ctrl+alt+del to restart'.
I have no idea what to do anymore, I have rechecked my wires and connections. If anyone knows what the problem is, please help. Thank you
