Hello everyone. I am new to this forum.
Anyway, I just got an Arduino UNO R3 (VISduino) and I tried to upload a sketch to the board. It is able to verify but it has a problem uploading. The upload took a long time (around 3 minutes) before succumbing to an error message as below:
Arduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 8.1), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"
Sketch uses 1,180 bytes (3%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.
Global variables use 15 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2,033 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
Also, my board's L light keeps flashing which I believe that it indicates a problem on the board? Do correct me if I'm wrong.
What seems to be the issue and how do I rectify this problem?
Thanks and regards.
