Went into the BIOS and changed the following:
Legacy OS = activate
Secureboot = deactivate
It proceeded to the load screen and it is installing drivers I assume as from what I can see.
However now it seems to be on a continous restart loop - it'll get to the blue windows 8 logo and just restart and do this over and over, same issue as first post. It has been going on for the past 5min is this normal?
