ok so i just built a pc. all brand new components. i can boot to get to the bios but dont know what im doing there. i dont make any changes and nothing happens, i make every change that the manual says and nothing happens. if i dont go to the bios i get a message " reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" i have inserted the installation disk while running the pc and reset it and still nothing.
i have also checked connections of RAM and PSU etc.
on occasion i wont be able to get into the bios or use the keyboard or mouse.
I have an msi 1070a gaming ack m9 MB
a corsair cx750m psu
evga gtx1070 graphics card
any other specs you might need and you can ask

please help as i am getting very frustrated!
thanks in advance.

Try opening it up and ensuring that the hard drive is connected to the motherboard correctly. Also, try booting with a different drive. Try removing all but one of the RAM sticks but one and then booting, if that doesn't work, try a different RAM stick in a different slot.

I only have one stick of ram and i did try it in different slots but il check the hard drive and i dont understand why booting with a different drive would help as there is literally nothing on the pc
