So i have just finished building my pc, it includes an AMD X2 340 processor, a Gigabyte f2a78m-ds2 motherboard, 1 stick of 4gb ram, an r7 250, and a western digital blue 250gb hard drive. (Yes i know it's not very pricey.)
Now when i launch up, it goes to this weird Report about my hard drive. Even when booting it up from the USB that i have put windows on, it displays the same thing. At the top it says "Tabernus". Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
 
Hey there, treewilly!

I'm very sorry to hear about your issues with the WD Blue drive. 🙁 Can you please provide me with more details, even post some screenshots of the error? Have you tried using a different SATA cable or plugging the drive to a different SATA port on the motherboard.
I'd also suggest you to try the drive in another system and see how it will react there. Check if it's properly detected in BIOS, Device Manager and Disk Management. It would help a lot if you post some screenshots from Disk Management as well.
If you are able to get it recognized somewhere, I'd strongly recommend you to test the drive's health and SMART status using WD's Data LifeGuard Diagnostic tool. It will help us determine if you have anything to worry about with the WD Blue, just make sure you run both the QUICK and the EXTENDED tests from the utility: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=OT6SN6

Keep me posted with the results.

Hello SuperSoph, I am so sorry I had to waste your time with my retardedness. When i pressed boot from USB , it said press any button to boot from it. What I didn't know was that you had to press it pretty fast or it will just boot again from the HDD. So yeah, the problem was pretty much from my end.
Sorry again!
