able to post bios but cannot find boot device

[watermoccasin]

Hi,
I just installed my new CrossHair V & i am able to get into the bios. But i cannot boot into windows.
I do not suspect ram becuase my Dram light is not on & bios says mem test is ok.

I get a message about not being able to find a boot device. Another message i get is something about intel something or other v1.3.51(im at work i can post the full message later) & something about LAN adapter config is corrupt or not initialized boot cannot continue.

What i find wierd is that i can see all 3 hard drives & cd drive in the bios & can change the boot order, but it cant boot. Also sometimes it will try to boot windows(ill see the little windows graphic & load bar) & then fail & resume the boot loop with the above messages.

I will be testing to boot up with a spare hard drive from another pc & test my current drives in another system as well.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

Thanks Nemesis, will do.
Chrsplmar, when i built the system i only re-used 2 drives for storage & running a few things, & save a few bucks on the initial build lol. I may upgrade them in the future, but they were fairly new(addon to the old rig not long before building the new rig)& they work just fine.
the ssd was new(boot drive & a few most used applications). I like the ssd, i do notice a bit faster booting(under 30 seconds from power button to ready desktop) & some games/programs ran a bit quicker & smoother. Especially if you get the SATA III. But yes, they are a bit pricey compared to an hdd
