I used my old psu and my old graphics card from my older computer because they have been upgrading recently. My old computer was working fine when I decide to upgrade it, it was just getting slow and outdated.

So i hooked everything up, had a friend who knows a bit more than me help me. I tried to boot and started having trouble. At first it started boot looping instantly. I don't have a case speaker yet.. I don't think my mobo came with one so I hear no beeps(would probably make things easier). It will be here tuesday or wednesday. I pulled the cmos battery out and put it back in then powered it on and it booted! Everything looked ok. I got to the bios, saw all the fan speeds, the temps, everything. It recongnized all my hardware. 8gbs ram. i7 cpu. ssd. dvd drive. After I hit the reset button on the front of the computer to see if it would boot up again, it took me into an endless bootloop. i don't know what it could be?

If I need to give you guys more info, let me know exactly what you need to help me diagnose this and I would be glad to get you all the info needed.
 
Disconnect all your drives except the disc drive and SSD. Reset the CMOS, go in to the BIOS if you can and set your boot order for the disc drive first. See what that gets you.
 
Sounds like you are trying to use the old install of windows which you can't do because you have a new motherboard with different hardware. You will need to reinstall windows and most likely will need a new key.
 
Ok so i fixed it... i didnt have windows installed at all.. when i would reboot my computer so I could install windows it would boot loop..The boot_devise_led would stay red.. I went to best buy and bought a new power supply to rule it out.. if it still boot looped i was just going to take it back.. once installed, the computer booted up and no red LED! I guess the old psu was sending surges or something to the ssd. I dont know. but its working fine now.

I also did this. after it started boot looping, i had to pull the battery out to reset cmos everytime.

That's what I thought at first too but it's using a new SSD he just got.

So new PSU fixed it?
