GA-X58A-UD3R motherboard - Computer has stopped booting

Ok so does the one with the black bar match the size of the new one?

If so you will need to right click on it an initialize it. A set up wizard should pop up just follow the prompts.

Yup.  I assume I want a "New Simple Volume..."

Ok look at my post above as I added to it.


Just make it a Primary not basic

Got it formatted.  Thanks Fatman.  I still have the other screwy things going on...do I need to do anything with updating the BIOS?  The reason I ask is one of the things happening is when I boot I get a message from DropBox that it can't get a secured connection because my computer date and time are incorrect.  I've updated the date and time, but still get the message.  Then there is the facebook issue.  I can get to it on my laptop, but not the computer I'm working on -- it keeps redirecting to another site....but other sites (CNN, ESPN, NOAA) work fine.

Ok things are taking shape LOL Just set the time and date in the bios and see from there

    I had changed the month and day, but not the year!  Got it changed, and no DropBox error and I got into facebook.

Fatman - if you were nearby, I'd by you one of your favorite drinks.  I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY appreciate the help.  I have some projects that I needed to work on this weekend.

Glad you got it sorted
