Hi,

This is my first build and I have followed online tutorials and the manual. I seem to be running into errors with my build when I am trying to install any OS, I mainly want to install win 8 so ill state the errors i am receiving when I am trying to install it.

What I have tried!!!!!!!!!
First of all, because if these errors I have tried replacing the RAM, HDD and SATA cables. Everything part of the hardware seems to be working.
My MOBO is win8 ready so Im not sure what the problem really is. I updated to BIOS to the latest release and the same errors still apply. I have tried to boot the pc in RAID, IDE and ACHI mood and still no luck. I have reassembled the entire pc, tried every type of OS and Still no luck.

When I start my pc I have only a usb keyboard plugged in and the for 90% of the time the pc freeze and the boot device led stays red until i plug the keyboard and then the pc continues to boot like normal and brings me to the press and key to boot os screen.

The furthest I have gotten with an os installation is with win7, i get to the install page where I can see the hard drive, everything seems to be fine until i click install and I get an error 0x80070057. I have tried to delete the partitions and install the os but still get the same error. All of my hardware is new but because of college I have bought some parts a year ago and recently I have been able to get the rest.

When I try to install fedora I get an error " kernal panic - not syncing: no init found." then the next line reads " CPU: 3 PID: 1 comm: swapper/0 not tainted"
next line " Hardware name: To be filled by O.E.M. To be filled by O>E>M./SABERTOOTH 990FX, BIOS 2501"

Any suggestions of what to try.

My specs,
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
