Hello, I'm really new to computer building and this is my first shot. These are the specs for my setup, but I'm running into an issue.
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7 LGA
Ram - Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB kit
Internal Hard Drive - Samsung 850 Pro 512GB
Processor - Intel Core i5-4690
Graphics Card - MSI Nividia GeForce GTX 760
Bare Drive - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM
I tried following the steps on the installation page here using my (hopefully soon to be retired) Macbook Pro. I made the bootable flash drive and ran it into the machine, but it would freeze on either the Apple loading screen or the beach ball. I tried booting it through safe mode and that seemed to get it, I installed Yosemite through that, but now it only seems to work when in safe mode. I tried restarting the system without the drive plugged in and it won't work. I also can't seem to find a boot code to get it to start properly, it will only boot if I use both safe mode and verbose mode at the same time. I THINK installing through safe mode might be the issue?
Apologies if this has been asked before, I tried my best to search around but didn't find anyone else with this problem.
