  1. First of all thank you for your time and for trying to help me out. So my PC has brand new motherboard, CPU, and RAM. Old PSU, HDD, CD-Drive Bay. When I installed new motherboard and CPU, I plugged in bootable Win10 USB, and started up my computer and it did just fine. When I booted it from the USB, I erased whole HDD, and chose to install it on the empty HDD, however the partition on the USB was not right. I turned it off and waited for a friend to create and partition the correct bootable USB. So now, a week later, with the correct partition bootable USB, I try to turn on the computer and it wont turn on. Fans do not turn on, CPU wont start, nothing starts. I tried using a different cable from electricity to PSU and still wont start up. By the way, if the computer is off, the CD bay won't eject obviously; but when I turn the PC on, even though it wont start up, I press the eject button and CD bay pops out.

  4. Hi, sorry to bother you again. I managed to boot computer from DVD with Win10. However when Im choosing where to install windows, when I select my HDD it says it cannot be installed in that disk because it has an MBR partition, and on EFI systems Windows can only be installed to GPT disks. Can you please help me with this? Thanks!
  5. Can I just install it in a dvd on my mac and boot it from it ?
  6. Okay thank you for all your help so far. I wil do it tomorrow on my roomates laptop. Also, I dont know if this has anything to do with it, but the os win 7 the pc had before was with one of those cracked keys generated by one of those generators. Anyways... I opened rufus link and saw the Rufus program interface panel. Could you tell me which options to select such as device, partition scheme and target system type, file system, cluster size, new volume label, etc? Since maybe when I do it you may not be available.
  7. Just finished it. Plugged it into the PC, turned on PC and pressed F12 and pop-up window showed up: "Please select boot device: P1: WDC WD5000AAKS-65YGA0 TDK LoR Trans-It Drive PMAP P3: HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH10L UEFI: TDK LoR Trans-It Drive PMAP, Partition" I selected 2nd option (my usb is TDK) and it rebooted and same problem as before "windows could not start up: run startup repair or start win normally". Then I re did everything again but this time i chose the UEFI option and still same problem occured.
  8. Done. the disk was initialized, erased it as MS-DOS (FAT) MBR partition. Now... Im confused, Ill get 7-zip to extract file from iso then Keka to transfer file to usb ?
  9. I tried erasing it to format it to what you said (the FAT options were MS-DOS (FAT) and ExFAT), I chose MS-DOS FAT and MBR partition but it said "Failed to erase disc". This is driving me crazy, all i want to do is install win10 and erase the hdd to have my pc like brand new.
  10. Hey its me again. I recently purchased the mobo and cpu and ram. I also got Windows 10 and created a bootable USB flashdrive with it. However, when I turn on the PC I press F12 to go to the Boot Setup, I choose to boot from USB flashdrive, the PC reboots but then tells me that Windows can't startup (also, it seems as if my old OS Win7 is the one booting), and it gives me the options to run "repair mode" or "start widnows normally". If I choose "start windows normally" it takes me back to the same screen that it is unable to start. If I choose "repair mode" it pops up a "Startup Repair" window attempting to repair and offered me to do a restore but I declined it, and then took a while attempting to repair but in the end did not find any solution. I created the bootable USB flashdrive on a mac and this is the video I watched and followed to create it:

What I would like is to delete entirely my HDD, install Windows 10, and have my PC as if it was brand new.

If you need to know anything else to be able to help me out just ask.
  12. Thank you! Btw would I be able to play the game and run 60 fps with this CPU ? Or would I need to get a good GPU and PSU for that? Because at the moment I play on macbook pro (late 2011) intel i5 2.4 GHz with the integrated graphics, 4 gb ram though, and I run average 20 fps.
  13. Okay thank you everyone, appreaciate it a lot!
  14. Thank you for all your help so far. Im in the final procedures of ordering everything and I want to be 100% sure I choose the correct products. Im going with the intel i3 6100, win10, one 8gb ddr4 ram stick, keeping my old case, my HDD SATA, my 400W PSU, but Im uncertain about which of these 2 MoBos: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0165YUDTM/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=AZWW7MPMRRV8&coliid=I1C4OQDA41B2P9 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B4U47E4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=AZWW7MPMRRV8&coliid=I3510DXS0H81KY&psc=1 Is there something the other one does not have? I read the MSI MoBo supports the 6th gen i3 and has 4 SATA ports. That info I could not see it in the Gigabyte MoBo description. I would go with the Gigabyte because it is cheaper but the MSI seems a little more complete, and a $14 difference is not much. What do you think ? Also, when I get the 8gb ram stick. Should I use it along with one of the other 2gb/4gb (not sure) I already have since the mobo has 2 slots ?
  15. Thank you. Question: On the "About this Mac" section of my mac, in the Memory tab it says "Your Mac contains 2 memory slots, each of which accepts a 1333 MHz DDR3 memory module.". However, may I add two sticks of more than 1333MHz? 1600 or 1800 maybe?
