Hi all, I just bought a i7 4770K with a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC and a new SSD, a Samsung 840 EVO 500Gb but I cannot install Windows 7 on it not matter what. I cannot even format the drive in Windows, using diskpart or booting from the Win 7 DVD, it throws back an error every time. I assumed that it must be faulty and have got a replacement and its doing the same thing!

I think it may be an out of date motherboard BIOS or drivers being needed during install but there are none on the CD provided and I have search everywhere and no one else seems to have the same problem.

I have my old SSD currently installed with no problems at all (an Intel X-25M 160Gb).

Any suggestions?
