I've assembled everything to the best of my knowledge, i've got power to everything and all the fans are going. I've successfully installed Windows 8, but very soon after computer started to lag hard and drag on like a turtle. I hit the PSU switch after it being frozen for a few mintues and now I cannot get past the Slanted window loading screen. The balls just jump around over and over.
Please help?
