Re: New Build Guidance
Got everything in the case and running.
Problem: I power on, AsRock logo comes up for the mobo. Windows 7 gets about 5 seconds into its loading screen then it asks me if I want to start as normal, or repair something or other. I've tried both methods and it just keeps repeating
I have all same hard drives, operating system etc
Only things that changed were ram, mobo, CPU and gpu
Help!

Did you do a new Windows installation? If you are doing a new motherboard, you really need to wipe your old hard drive and do a fresh install of Windows 7.
Windows is basically trying to load your last OS install, but the hardware is all different.

Once you get the drivers installed and Windows activated (that part can actually wait), make sure to run all of your Windows Updates before doing too much connecting to the internet. Better to be safe than sorry.

Yep. Windows updates are a must. Lots of nasty crap out there right now. Drive-by infections are at an all time high... but are generally related to things like Java, Flash, etc being exploited, but there are IE flaws as well that are actively being exploited.
