Hi all so I built my custom pc a while back but I can't get an os on. My original plan was to load an os onto the computer by USB didn't work so well. I am on a mac so I had to make the usb thumb dive bootabole I tried two different thing. First I ran command lines in terminal which should make it work, second I made a bootabole usb by bootcamp(I was using windows these first tries) when I put the usb stick in my new build it was a black screen(and yes I did select usb boot). Then i tried Linux(ubuntu) ran the same command lines in terminal and even followed the steps on the ubuntu forums. Still didn't work I am at a loos i don't know what to so.
 

 

So when i try installing ubuntu it gets to the dots then freezes iv waited for like 20 min and still nothing. Installing windows 7 I get a black screen with a blinking cursor same with windows 8.1 64bit

if its on ide it should not matter so i would walk through all the bois settings again to see if you made a mistake and try booting into a install without a hdd or dvd player

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't imagine a DVD Player or a HDD interfering with an OS installation

 

I'm starting to think that he might have a faulty flash drive but that's just a speculation

Yes you will be still be able to boot if you take out one stick. take one 4gig out first, and if it isnt that one,, put it back in and take the other one out...
