Hi,

Recently I have been building a new computer. I have a legitimate copy of windows 7, however I am having trouble getting either windows 7 or windows 10 to boot properly.

The USB is a sandisk 8gb. I have tried using Rufus with no success, as well as using the bootsect technique. No luck.

My motherboard is a z87 Asus gryphon, the boot selection shows the USB first, then my harddrive. Using f8 boot window doesn't work either. As using basic boot shows the windows logo but then the computer shuts off and restarts. No circle progresses bar appears. Using uefi causes the status logo to appear again after a minute the logo disappears and the computer restarts.

I have also tried different USBs with the same effect.

Thanks to anyone who finds me a solution. I an usually computer fluent but this had really puzzled me.

Laptop: METABOX W230ST | Intel i7-4700MQ | 2x4GB Dual Channel Ram | NVIDIA GTX 765M 2GB | 128GB SSD | 1TB HDD | Razer peripherals.
