What do I do on my first PC power up?

[fox22]

I just put together my PC and turned it on. I don't know what to do? I put my MoBo disc in and the main screen would keep appearing every ~10 seconds. I took it out and then put in my Windows 7 disc and it says Loading OPerating System, but nothing has happened for 10minutes.

What do I do?

Leave the Win7 disc in, it takes a while to load but eventually should come up with a prompt to install Windows. You need to install Windows before you can use the motherboard CD. It took a long time for Win7 installer to come up on my i7 build (longer than it did for my C2D laptop which is weird).

I would suggest waiting a little bit more. It may take a while to load the OS from the disc.

EDIT: Have you gone through the BIOS yet? Considering you say it is your FIRST power up, I think not...
