I bought windows 8 and a seperate copy of 7 and they both ended up like this on two seperate clean harddrives and I clean reinstalled twice on both.

Now I am really getting bogged down D and I am wondering maybe the optical drive is not up to scratch? Something is really wrong if you have used two new OS's and two new drives, and on a new motherboard and it still keeps blue screening.
I can only refer back to that tutorial and you making an ISO from the download site onto a USB stick and boot from it.
Now one thing I have just thought of is to try this and if it blue screens with it then it has to be some hardware issue we are missing.
BOOTABLEUBUNTU
Makea bootable Ubuntu disk http://www.ubuntu.com/download
Setthe BIOS to boot from the optical when the machine boots it will show you ascreen with TRY or INSTALL > select TRY. You can of course remove the hard drive and any otherdrives when doing this as if the optical alone is the only drive left in themachine then the BIOS will only find it to boot from.
Whenit is finished - it takes very little time you will get a screen like in thepic .
Openthe drive you want > User and dig down until you get to the data / settingsyou may be able to copy / paste the material you want to an external source orother installed drive doing this.
Iam not sure if it will but I have recovered tons of data etc using this methodboth on "dead" or just plain drives that you cannot get data fromusing Windows.
If you get the screen as in my pic and it does not blue screen at all then the hardware must be working ok and the software is not. Just remember to use TRY not install. It may seem like the long way round but it will show if the hardware can work with an OS of a sort.
