Just wired up my first build. I can get the system to boot into the BIOS and that works just fine. However, when i exit the BIOS, it won't boot to Windows.
System specs:
asrock z77 extreme4
intel core i5 2500k
samsung 840 series SSD
should be all you need but do ask if you want more.
The OS has been tested in a laptop and in an old desktop and it works just fine. I heard that changing motherboards, chipset, and CPU architecture all at once can cause issues as the OS was installed on the aforemetioned latop.
Needing urgent help!
Thanks in advance!
edit* I'm getting b2 a2 a4 and a6 post error codes. After googling, I still have no idea what they mean. One is related to IDE, WTF??
"The OS has been tested in a laptop and in an old desktop and it works just fine. I heard that changing motherboards, chipset, and CPU architecture all at once can cause issues as the OS was installed on the aforemetioned latop."
Do you mean that you have installed the OS on the SSD (samsung 840) and then put this SSD in the laptop and old desktop and it works fine OR
The old laptop and old desktop have an OS installed on them using the same OS Disk?
Sorry if im being a bit noobish, just trying to confirm the situation.
I meant i used the laptop to install the OS onto the SSD. Thank you everyone for your help. Such a clear answer gives me confidence that this will work! :P Thanks for helping the noob! :)
