Just got my new gaming PC through with no operating system installed, tried installing windows 7 and 8 via usb as I'm not using a disk drive. The usb boots up fine and asks me to choose language, time etc then it just freezes at "setup is starting" I know that the iso files are fine as I'm currently using windows 8 on my laptop which installed fine.

PC specs if relevant:

AMD FX 8320
Corsair Vengeance 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHz (2 x 4gig sticks)
AMD Radeon R9 290 Gigabyte Windforce 3x OC
Corsair CS750M
ASUS M5A97 R2 motherboard

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm guessing it's a motherboard issue but unsure as to what is causing the problem.
 


I left it for around an hour or so and still nothing and I couldn't turn my machine off via the button which made me thin that it had frozen. I couldn't find any floppy drive settings in the bios either.
