I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 8.1 on a home-built PC. Specs are here: http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/t823x/build_complete_hush_1450_silent_gamingphotography/
The video card has been swapped out for an MSI GTX 760, and the SSD is now a 256GB Mushkin Chronos Deluxe.
After the Windows logo appears for a bit, I get a blank dark-ish blue screen with a mouse cursor, but nothing else happens.
I've tried two images (RTM and now the release version from today) with no luck. Any ideas?

try to switch to UEFI Boot from BIOS (also enable FastBoot option)... and partition your SSD as GPT
