How many drives do you have plugged in?

Reseat your RAM. If it still isn't being detected, the slot is dead, and you should RMA your motherboard.

Try formatting the drive and reseating the ram.

 

How many ram sticks do you have? Two or four?

too me it sounds like the motherboard is bad but before that check ALL conectors both PSU side and where they go side, re instert your RAM, delete and reform the drive partition and clear CMOS in whatever order you feel like but i would recomend the orded i said

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

remove all other drives when installing Windows fresh on a new dive (SSD)

 

check that RAM slot by putting a different RAM stick in it, if it still not detected - mbo fucked, RMA

Bought it off ebay from a guy who sold it because he couldnt get it to work with his Xeon processor and ECC Ram. So im fucked for returns. Plus it was only £250.

Fuck it, i'll install windows and hope ive installed it onto the right one. Ive a 1/3 chance.

As for the RAM, if the A1 slot really is faulty could i stick the RAM module in another slot like A2 and leave the rest in B1, C1, D1, or would I have to move them all into the A2, B2, C2, D2 slots, or would that not work?

Is there going to be any performance issues running A2, B1, C1, D1. If not i may attempt this as a work around solution.

take out all other drives but the one you are installing windows on, when it has to restart, power off and install the drives or let it restart and finish and then power down and install them. that way you make sure you get the right drive

does it boot if you put the RAM in A2, B2, C2, D2?

 

my original assumption is that is was a dual channel board and not a quad-channel - this complicates stuff
