Hey! I just finished assembling my grandma's new PC. I managed to boot into UEFI, but when I try to install Windows 8.1 the disc won't start and it displays this (image). Got any suggestions on what might be wrong? Thanks! Edit: Just a quick note – it's an A78M-E45 with AMD A6-5400K and one 4GB Crucial Tactical DDR3 RAM.

Verify that your boot derivation settings are set up properly.

I managed to solve it: in UEFI there is an option that enables some "Windows 8 features" that were enabled. Disabling them solved the problem, I'm in the middle of the installation right now. Thanks for the fast responses!
