Cannot install Windows 7, 64 bit
Hello,
I hope someone can help me stop pulling my hair out. I buy parts and build my own comps. Figured I'd go with windows 7, 64 bit version this time. I built the comp, everything looks good, had plans of SLI two ot three graphic cards but I did not receieve any SLI Bridge with this or the prvious 3 Asus boards I've bought.
My system,
Intel Core i5-750 2.66Ghz 8M LGA1156 CPU
ASUS P7P55D Pro Intel P55 Socket LGA1156 MB
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit DVD OEM
Cooler Master ATX SLI ready case
Corsair 4GB DDR3 PC12800 1600MHz (2x2GB) Class 9
WD VelociRaptor 300GB SATA HD 10K/16MB/SATA-3
ULTRA X4 1050W POWER SUPPLY MODULAR
EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked 896MB X 2
ASUS DVD another brand DVD RW.
I have tried 3 different ribbons, 4 different DVD players none work, tried master/slave/cs all combos, no lights come up as the comp beeps once and boots to CMO's /BIO's no problem. I found if I unplug the IDE ribbon and leave the power plug in they light up and want to work. But they are no good to me without the ribbon so I can't load Windows.
When I go into the Boot Priority, everything is in parenthesis and will not let me change the boot configuration.
I obviously only have one grahics card in as I did not get a SLI Bridge anyway.....even if I did I would wait till it was running.
My BIO's is,
BIO's version, 0209
BIO's build date 7/28/09
EC BIO's version, MBEC-0027
Someone please help me get this so I can load windows 7 !
