Self-built desktop keeps crashing
Hello, I just joined this forum and this is my first time posting.
I built my desktop in late December last year. Everything seemed fine until I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (Korean) and started installing programs I regularly use. Then, BSOD hit me...I'd never had a self-built computer crash on me so fast after building, and I thought it might be a problem with Win7 installation, so I tried formatting and re-installing windows multiple times (probably 5~6 times), but BSOD kept happening. Win7 even refused to be installed at all twice or so.
I have been really busy with work since, so I just never got around to try fixing it until last week. I did a fresh installation, then everything seemed fine until two nights ago, when my computer failed to boot up. I get the usual bios messages, and even the windows logo that shows up before the mouse pointer appears, then BSOD. It happens every time I try to boot up. I managed to pull out minidumps, so I'm attaching them here.
It seems to me like a hardware problem. I have run windows' memory diagnostic tool, which told me there aren't any problems with my memory, but who knows. My amateur guess for the culprit is the motherboard, but I wanted to ask for professional opinions here and decide which components I should send in for after-service.
Thanks in advance!
