Hello,

I have built a new system for a friend of mine. Everything seems to be connected fine. When I turn on the pc, I go to the bios as there is no installed OS. However when I try to boot from a usb or a dvd to intall Windows 7, all I get is a black screen and then it reboots and takes me back to the bios. The motherboard is ASUS B85M-E incase it has to do anything with that. I have tried changing the bios setting but nothing would happen. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

PS. I have installed Windows 7 from both the usb and the dvd successfully in the past, so I don't think that's the problem.

Both dvd and usb are bootable. Changing boot priority didn't have any effect. However you might be right about mobo errors but I don't know how to confirm that. I have tried a different disk driver incase that was the matter but it turned out it wasn't.

I am going to try this one later, if there isn't anything else left to do. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
