I recently just built my first Gaming PC the specs are below

 


 
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor  (Purchased For $300.00) 
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  (Purchased For $60.00) 
Motherboard: MSI X99S Gaming 7 ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard  (Purchased For $285.00) 
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory  (Purchased For $90.00) 
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GB Twin Frozr Video Card  (Purchased For $600.00) 
Case: Corsair 760T Black ATX Full Tower Case  (Purchased For $180.00) 
Monitor: BenQ RL2455HM 60Hz 24.0" Monitor  (Purchased For $200.00) 
Total: $1865.00
 
So I recently installed windows 8.1 Pro via USB Boot. The entire install process seemed fine until reboot.
Once it rebooted it showed the MSI Logo then a black screen then followed up by a shutdown...Sometimes it will just boot to the MSI logo and stay stuck there.
 
Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?  :(

There's no Grub or Master Boot record on disk, which is why you're not booting into windows. Make sure you install windows on a SSD/HDD not USB! Make sure you even have your HDD/SSD installed properly.

did you change the boot order in the bios so it boots onto your OS drive instead of the bios

To switch over to the 2nd bios I just flick the switch on the motherboard Correct? (Blue Led light Default - Green LED light When Switched) I've done that.

Ive installed windows to the HDD when prompt. The HDD (Western Digital 1 TB) is installed correctly.

Make sure your SATA Mode is set to AHCI (not IDE) in the BIOS. 

 

Could also try changing the Windows 8/8.1 Configuration in the BIOS,  to Enabled; not sure if that'll help, its a new BIOS setting to me, that I'm not too experienced with yet.

Your SATA mode is set to IDE or RAID by default. Switch it to AHCI.

Copied from Tom's H:

Integrated Peripherals Menu in BIOS

Sets integrated peripherals' parameters, such as LAN, HDD, USB and audio. Press

<Enter> to enter the sub-menu.

SATA Mode [AHCI Mode]

Sets the operation mode of the onboard SATA controller. The default mode is

AHCI.

[Disabled] Disables the SATA function.

[iDE Mode] Specify the IDE mode for SATA storage devices.

[AHCI Mode] Specify the AHCI mode for SATA storage devices. AHCI (Advanced

Host Controller Interface) offers some advanced features to enhance

the speed and performance of SATA storage device, such as Native

Command Queuing (NCQ) and hot-plugging.

[RAID Mode] Enables RAID function for SATA storage devices.
