    computer not working after installing new hardware


    i just installed a new cpu, motherboard, and 8gb ram and the computer wouldn't boot up. So i hooked up the original parts and tried to install the drivers for the new motheboard.I turned off the computer and put the new parts in. Nothing worked so I plugged the original parts in and i got a black screen with a blinking white line in the top left corner. I also ran a diagnostic and it gave me an error code on the hdd that said BIOHD 3. Any ideas of how to fix this? Please respond quickly!

    Are you sure your hard drive is properly connected to the correct port with a known good cable?

    It isn't likely your HD would fail just because you bought a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM.

    you may be right but that doesnt explain why the hd doesnt work with the new or original parts. I also just tried to reconect the parts but i was greeted with a black screen that said "loading operating system". nothing happens after that. I also couldn't access the new mother boards POST screen but the BIOS setup, bootmenu, and xpress recovery work.
