New PC build BSOD on boot
I recently built another pc and things went together fine much like the first time. Windows 7 Home Premium OEM installed fine and booted up quickly. After booting I found out that I could not install programs to the pc, I always get random errors such as registry corruption, hkey error, or just "no". Also I got the windows update failure error. Then after fixing that and updating, the BSOD was there to greet me. So happily after spending 4 wonderful days with my buddy BSOD and numerous clean installs with drivers installed before and after windows 7, I am about to give up. I have never had a problem like this and have no idea what to do. I have run memtest, checked for HDD errors, tested videocard, tested cpu, tried a registry repair. I even found out that the Marvell raid controller is not supposed to be compatible with Win7 so that's good. I finally got 2 programs to install, but then windows wouldn't boot at all so I loved on my BIOS. I can no longer boot to windows. While trying to boot in safe mode it crashed as well. I chose the kernel debug and it crashed, it said hardware...ntdl.dll.
BSOD: 0x000000f4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFAB007749B30, 0xFFFFFAB007749E10, 0xFFFFF8002D93500)
The pc has:
Intel core i7 950
Asus Sabertooth x58
3x2gb corsair dominator 1866
evga gtx 465 1gb
thermaltake black widow 950w
cheap combo read/write drive
WD 1tb 6gb/s HD, connected with sata 3
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
