I've encountered new stuff that needs updates such as a BIOS before it will install. If that doesn't work then call the supplier to make your complaint and ask what they want to exchange.

I just finished this build and started to install windows 8. Windows 8 starts to install and goes down its checklist and restarts after "finishing up". Once it restarts it asks for me to pick the default OS and I pick the windows 8 one and then it switches to a screen with the windows 8 symbol and below it says, "configuring devices". This is all well and good until (at some random percentage) the screen goes entirely black and will not return. I have waited at the longest 20 minutes and nothing happened. I have had to restart and start the installation process all over again. I have done this about 8 times and was wondering if anyone had some tips. Thanks ahead of time.
