Hey, Today my new gaming PC arrived with no oporating system. I have 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD and my motherboard is a MSI A68HM GRENADE.
I'll start from scratch,

I inserted my Windows 8 disc and installed a 32-bit version (By accident)
I then upgraded to windows 10 (32-bit)
I then attempted to remove windows 10 but had no success as I have no idea how to use the BIOS.
I then found something online saying i should insert my windows 8 disc and do some sort of repair.
I clicked on something saying deleting the files on this oporating system or something along those lines....
Now what happens is, I turn my PC on, It goes past the option to enter BIOS and BOOT, then a windows logo appears, after the logo and some loading the PC restarts itself and continues to do this perminantly and no matter what i try i cant seem to get past this problem

I would really appreciate some help, Infact i'd even pay someone if they got this done for me lol

Hello... What your computer is doing is Automatically loading DATA from your HD when you power it on... No HD DATA no DATA loop.

Repeating my self here...
1) Un-plug the hardrive and Re-BOOT... see if you can access your MB BIO"s for Boot order options... set your Install media device as first. ( Save & exit )
2) Connect the harddrive and place your Install media in the computer for a Boot up ( Power on ) install.
3) You can use any Windows install media to access "Disk Tools" to remove all the Partitions on the hardrive... follow typical install questions and choose the screen "Custom install" and then "Drive options". Delete all Partitions on the drive ( it may take a a few reboots/installs to get them all ). Once gone you EXIT the...

Right try this, go into your bios and find boot settings, it shouldn't be to hard to find, and set it to boot from your disk drive, if it is set to optical drive then a question do you have a USB as you will have to make a bootable usb and load it on that way!

I've booted from disc and i get an error message saying I have hardware that needs removing, I remove the hardware and have it automatically boot but instead it just continues the loop

basically your hard drive has two connections, sata power and sata data transfer unplug the sata data transfer and boot the system with the windows 8 disk in, then when it has got to the windows loading screen plug the hard drive in, when it asks you which drive you want to load the os onto select the hard drive and click format then next, then it should all work!

Removing the HD partitions will remove all previous installed DATA... and give you a Clean drive for a NEW install.

right just unplug the hard drive from the mobo, leave it powered by, start the system, it should automatically load windows then once it has loaded windows plug the hd in and then go through normal windows install but make sure you format the hard drive when it gives you the option
