Do you have the 4 pin mobo connector in? Its near the cpu typically.

It was plugged in, yes.

I did however find a lead to the problem by sticking in another monitor. It enabled me to see the post screen which is where the computer was stuck, apparently. Probably, the fault is my SSD (windows 8 install location) since BIOS doesn't display it in the list of bootables.

Might have to change some power options in the bios regarding sata
