Ok. I have bought a usb and tried to install windows that way and still receiving same blue screen. I have completely disassembled the computer and reconnected everything then tried again. Same bluescreen. Any more suggestions?

Ok, here we go to Trial & Error Experimenting.
Only use 2 of your memory sticks in alternating slots. Disconnect the Ext HD. Disconnect any other things not needed for install. (Printer, DVD/CD drive, wireless, etc.) Make sure the WD 2tb is connected to SATA port 0 or 1 on the MB for now. Remove & reseat your video card. double check all power connections to MB & video card. Was this a brand new HD when you tried the first install. We may have to use a partition Wizard Boot CD to format this HD again to a new blank drive. Connect the win7 USB Flash stick to a rear USB 2.0 port. Use the F11 key to get the boot menu on startup to choose the USB flash stick.
It's a brand new HD. It is a completely new build. I have already taken away all the peripherals and components not necessary. Right now I have the RAM in slots 1 and 3, HD in sata port 0 and graphics card in the top pci-e x16 slot. I have also double checked all connections are ok.
What edition of win7 ? Home, Prof, Enterprise, Ultimate ? Original release or with SP1 ?
Were you connected to the internet with an ethernet cable via the connection on the MB during install ? Sometimes during install it will download additional needed files for the install.
Did you make the USB as I described with the Rufus tool ?
It's win7 pro with sp1. I wasn't connected to the Internet while doing this. Yes I made the usb as you described.
It is not likely, but a possibility. I am downloading Windows 8 to see if I can install that. I am just getting frustrated with this because there doesn't seem to be a reason for this bluescreen.
A bad hardware or an outdated BIOS may also cause that particular crash, other than a corrupted iso. What is the date of the BIOS you installed?
I installed the latest BIOS F9 22/10/2012.
What are the likely hardware failures?
