First thing first, let me point out that I virtually know nothing about hardware.
Below is my specs:
(Here is a link to the full system I bought from NewEgg.) Figured that'd be easier than me typing it out/giving you invalid information.
Anyways, I was taking a look at ASRock's 'Fast Boot' via the UEFI BIOS and figured I should check it out. It says it was for Windows 8, but to my knowledge, that is ONLY for 'Ultra Fast Boot'. Anyways, I tried to save changes and exit the BIOS menu, but my computer would not post. My fans are running (including the one on processor), my LEDs are on, it SOUNDS like the system is booting as well. Everything looks good, minus the damn video. I have an HDMI to VGA cable running to my monitor, considering my build does not have an HDMI port. My guess is due to the lack there of a graphics card.
After pressing the power button on/off 7-8 times, it will finally boot. It won't go to the normal ASRock post screen, rather, it will go to a black screen that says information about my computer, and an error saying 'System failed to boot several times before.' It gives me the option to press DEL/F2 to go into the BIOS, or wait for the countdown to finish and boot into Windows. I can boot into Windows perfectly fine, as I'm typing from the computer currently.
I did go into the BIOS, thinking I might of changed a setting or something when I changed it to Fast Boot. I went into the Overclock setting and basically set things to auto, which, I'm not sure if it was a good idea. I had XBoost installed from the factory, which allowed me to basically just switch a small overclock on and off. When it was overclocked, it was running at 4.4 GHz. Now, it's running the stock 4.1, no matter what option I set. I'm not messing with it anymore.
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?
Edit: I don't BELIEVE that it is just some weird video connection issue, due to the fact that my DVD drive lights up, my keyboard does NOT, and neither does a USB flash drive I have plugged into it. When it finally does boot, it will obviously start lighting up. But other than that, the lights, fans, and DVD drives are the only things running as mentioned above.
Also, here is a little gallery of my settings. I figured it'd be easier to take a picture of them rather than me half-ass telling you my settings back and forth.
