I upgraded my RAM and added a new harddrive and now when I boot into windows it just goes to a black screen after booting into windows. Safe mode doesn't work either and it just hangs.

I also tried installing a new copy of windows but it just won't load.

Anything I could have done wrong? I have tried everything...

Had this kind of problem once but all it was was loose wires and a mis-connection. You could try to make sure everything is secure and connected in the correct order primary to main hard drive then from primary to slave, this applies for the power too.

I double checked the hard drives and they seem okay. I also tried the old RAM with both one and two sticks and still no dice.

BTW im using the striker extreme motherboard.

when re-using the old ram, was that with the new ram or without?

Never mind I got it working. I had to take out one of the video cards and boot into the computer and reinstall the video drivers.
