I decided to resurrect my 2008 iMac and get rid of the damaged hard drive. After installation, I still get the white screen with the "? file folder". I've tried every combination of keystrokes to get into disk utility to format but to no avail. Even using the OS disk that came with it doesn't work, it will sound like it's being read but after a few minutes, it will spit back out. I get the cursor on the screen when I restart with "C" depressed but that's it. Not sure where to go from here. No other macs in the house, but working PC w/ windows 8. Any help/advice would be immensely appreicated

I was at work today thinking that a windows reinstall was going to be my only option. The only bright side to this is that I have most of my stuff saved onto a HDD and have my OS on an SSD. The USB driver makes sense only if you can get into windows. I only have access to my BIOS and like you, my keyboard/mouse doesn't work on my windows logon screen. Thank you for the update!!

I'm having the exact same issues now. Wondering if anyone has an update or other suggestions.

Looking to make my first build for gaming everything from Minecraft to Far Cry 3. I'm planning on an Asus Z97-Pro mobo, an i-5 4670K (moderately overclocked), Corsair's AX 760 psu and an Asus GTX 770 gpu. My concern comes with the memory. I want to use Corsair's Vengeance Pro 2400 (2x8GB) but PCPartPicker tells me that there's a compatibility issue with the memory voltage (1.65V) and the CPU. Asus' website states that memory @ 1.65V and lower is recommened for the mobo and lists Corsair's Vengeanance Pro as compatible in the QVL. If I enable the XMP profile and overclock the cpu, will the memory voltage really be a problem? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
