No I tried burning doing the create a image wizard with alcohol using a dvd and after it gets done burning it then shows nothing on the dvd and when I reinsert the dvd it ask if I wanna burn files to the dvd... very weird.
Well after 2 dvd attempts I finally found a blank CD, this actually copied files to the CD but when I Set to boot from CD-ROM drive first it just bypasses it and goes straight to windows.
I give up, I have to turn this thing on and off a dozen times, reset the bios and all these other BS before it will finally give give me the boot up screen. Otherwise it acts like my monitor isnt getting a video signal. I think I am going to RMA the card as defective and have them replace it.
OK, after taking a deep breath, rubbing my earlobes and chanting Woosah over and over I have calmed down and dove back into the fight. I unplugged all my memory and PC gave me a fit, obviously. then I unplugged the sata cable from hard drive and I booted up first time into cmos. I wasnt even getting this far before.
I now have memtest running and will let you know of the results.
OK, so after setting the memory manually in BIOS settings and running Memtest86 I completed 11 passes before the PC locked up on me. I am beginning to wonder if its a conflict with my motherboard, but I don't have any way to test this without buying a new motherboard.
Has anyone looked at my dump files to see what its pointing at as to what is causing the issues?
The dump files are only so helpful; when hardware is at fault, they usually can't help us. I have posted them just for kicks.
Try taking out all but one RAM stick, and if it crashes, use just one other.
I would also suspect the PSU. At 65% efficiency and $40, it really should be upgraded. If you can, return that PSU and buy this one: Newegg.com - CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

Hey Jonathan. This is my cousins computer And we were on a very tight budget when bulding this computer. However I have already tried a better PSU and it is still doing the same exact thing as before. I have also tried doing one stick in different slots of the motherboard and running memtest86. The fartherewt I have gotten was 11 passes before the PC locked up. Also I have tried a different hard drive and still the same issues.
Is there anyway this could be motherboard related?
It's almost certainly a hardware problem, which component unknown. The motherboard is a possibility, as well as RAM and CPU. Run the three Prime95 tests: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...t-prime95.html
OK i will give prime a try. I just want this thing out of my house so I can stop worrying about it. I've never had this much trouble before.
