Computer crashed. Now BSOD upon start up.

Hello,

First of all, I am not able to boot up the computer in question - so I'm unable to do the DM Log collector to help get more information unfortunately.

Recently I was on my computer when an error popped up saying that some .exe files were missing. Shortly after the computer crashed to BSOD. Shut down, waited a few minutes, then restarted. On this restart a message came up saying that I was missing an operating system... Then BSOD again.
After researching threads about similar problems, I tried using Linux Mint to do a memory test which passed. Then I made an ultimate boot cd to research my problem further. Some of the features did not seem to work for me, but I did a Hard drive scan which said there was 10 bad sectors on one of the drives which happened to be the drive that had the windows partition from DELL, so naturally I thought this was the problem. I ordered a single SSD Drive to replace my 2 x WD velociraptors that were in a raid 0. Today I received the new SSD which I installed and was recognized in BIOS and I changed the hard drive configuration to AHCI rather than the old Raid. I booted from my windows 7 Ultimate disk to attempt a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Everything seemed to be going smooth - I saw the windows is loading files bar then the start to the windows load screen... Then an error came up saying windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change may be the cause - restart and run windows repair. Then when I pressed enter the computer blue screened an I got the error code Stop : 0x00000124 which I believe is the same code I've been getting all along. My only other guess to my problem would be a Motherboard or Processor error. I'd really appreciate some help here. It's been over a week since I've had a working computer and I was sure that the hard drive would fix the problem since I saw the 10 bad sectors on a scan..

Thanks in advance for your help!

No, nothing. Just mouse and keyboard and I tried with 2 different keyboards. I also ran Alienware diagnostics and it said rtc clock failure which I suspect was because I tried re seating the battery but I replaced the battery anyway just in case. I'm still having the same symptoms. I'm guessing that I need a new motherboard, so I'm planning to build a new machine rather then order outdated parts to revive a 6 year old machine which may or may not be the problem.

I've loaded to the optimal defaults several times... Bios does recognize the new ssd. And then I'm booting from the windows cd to try a fresh install and it blue screens before the windows install dialogue appears
