hello everyone this might be a bit long to read as I want to give as much detail as I can.
right lets begin.
firstly I have upgraded my rig.
Specs:
CPU: AMD FX 8320
GPU: R9 270
MOBO:Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
RAM: 8 gb (not sure on brand)
hdd: 1 TB
PSU: 750w
so my old rig worked fine on any low intensity games like csgo but struggled on low setting on anything intensive like dayZ Arma 3. so as you would expect I upgraded to the items listed above I know 100% they are plugged in and powered correctly.
when I turn on my system it tries to start windows 7 because I have kept the TB HDD from my old build to this one. but then comes up with start windows normally or (system repair) either on I click on restarts my computer????
I have tried booting up windows for my windows 7 disc and have already changed so the first place to put from is the CD/DVD player and it sounds like it is reading the disc but then says loading windows files then restarts my pc and its in a continual cycle??
I think maybe I need to format my HDD but I am not sure on exactly how you do that as I can only get into BIOS and there's nothing in BIOS that looks like it can help.
I don't have a clue what to do as I am sure your first suggestions are the things I have listed above and have tried countless times but anything else that may help me would be great.
Any additional information available upon request.
thank you for reading this monster paragraph
Regards
Jason
