Hey fellas... I need urgent help. Yesterday, I bought following configuration:
Processor: AMD FX 9370
Motherboard: ASUS CROSSHAIR V Formula-Z
SSD: Samsung EVO 850 250GB
HDD: Seagate 2 TB
SMPS: Corsair CS750M
GPU: NVIDIA Zotac GTX 750
RAM: Kingston Fury HyperX 8GB (1x8)
Somehow, I am not able to start my machine. Everything starts up, but facing blue screen issues.
I installed Windows 7 on SSD, and booted. When machine starts, on Windows loading screen, I get Blue Screen error. Then I attached my old HDD running Windows 7, still facing same issue. I don't know what to do, and where the problem is...
Can anybody help me please?

Re: HDD not getting detected on a new system
You'll have to do a good old trouble shooting.
* First thing you can do is to test the RAM. You can do this with a Ubuntu live cd (or other distro. There are also many stand alone tools for this)
* If the memory comes out clean then you could test with another SATA cable to see if that creates any problems. I've had this issue before so it does happen.
* If it's not the cable(s) then you could test with another graphics card if you have one, and see if it starts (Maybe you can borrow one from a friend if you don't have an extra.
Also it doesn't need to be a high end one, just one that works).
* After this we are getting down to checking your UEFI/BIOS if it's set to install with UEFI or Legacy mode. This shouldn't really give you a bluescreen but if you installed it
incorrectly (like installed Win 7 in Legacy mode and then have the computer in UEFI mode), it might not boot up correctly. It doesn't sound like this would be the issue, but it's
worth a shot.
* Last resort I can think of would be motherboard and/or the CPU. If these are borked then you'll have a bad time.
Basically what you can do now is to either try all your parts on another board to make sure.
Or return the motherboard and CPU to the store and demand a new set.
Personally I always try to test all of the stuff in another machine first to be sure what part is faulty, else it can become troublesome in the store (and costly if they want to charge you for testing all the parts).
Hope you can solve the problem!
Happy trouble shooting! ; )

Re: HDD not getting detected on a new system
One more thing btw.
Try taking out the RAM, blowing on it and in the slot on the motherboard and then putting it back.
Make sure you put it in the right slot as this matters.
This is a classic magic trick that sometimes works : P

Re: HDD not getting detected on a new system
Thanks cats...
Nice help tutorial... solved my problem.
Changed my RAM... Replaced SATA Cable, and made AHCI setting in BIOS...
Spend f*cking 20 hours... and when it all started working fine... there was a damn relaxed feel on my face
NetBeans open in 4 seconds. And rest almost all of the applications open in less than 2 seconds.
