Hey everyone, I just built my first computer. These are my specs:
Asrock z87 Extreme 4
Asus geforce gtx 770
2x 4gb croshair LP 1866mhz
i5 4670k
I had it running last night for a couple of hours and had successfully installed windows 8. I installed the os on my ssd, but my 1tb seagate hard drive never showed up under 'my computer'. It did however show up in device manager. I installed my lan driver, chipset driver, audio driver, and graphics card driver. I then downloaded and installed 52 updates using windows update. After rebooting I also installed a sata driver, thinking that this might be the reason for the hard drive not showing up. After still not being able to access the 1tb hard drive, i rebooted again and entered the bios. After looking around for no more than a minute, my computer completely froze. After powering off and on, i got a message saying windows cannot boot correctly and must be restored to an earlier working state. I turned it off and unplugged both drives as well as my optical drive, but the problem persists. When i press power my motherboard immediately displays rapidly changing 2 digit codes on a red led display. My monitor (Hdtv) now does not display anything, not even the asrock screen. It was such a good feeling to finally power up my pc and install windows, but now part of me is wishing i just paid someone to build it 🙁 I am very new to this, so please go easy on me
