Built my first computer but I keep getting BSOD after, various errors
Hello,
I just built my first computer with the help of a friend (parts listed in System Specs). Everything is brand new.
I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) with a USB stick that I used to install Windows on my previous desktop with no issue. However, this MSI motherboard has some limitations with installing OS with a USB, so I needed to use their "MSI Smart Tool" to add USB3 driver support.
I managed to successfully install Windows the first time. I then updated my drivers with the CD that came with my motherboard before downloading Steam, Chrome, and some Steam games. I left the computer on overnight to install all the essential Windows updates, but when I woke up it was bluescreened. I wiped the SSD and tried to reinstall Windows, but now it won't even let me use the computer like before before crashing.
- I took everything apart and made sure all cables were secured and in the right sockets.
- I was super careful when handling the CPU and motherboard.
- I did check to make sure all parts were compatible before purchasing them, but I could have missed something.
- I tested each piece of RAM individually and both bluescreened.
- I tried using a new USB and prepped it with a clean Windows 7 .iso file.
Also, note that I'm currently unable to access the crash dump because Windows restarts my computer to finalize the installation. If I try to boot in Safe Mode, it says Windows can't finalize the installation in Safe Mode. If I boot normally, I get a BSOD.
I received a few different BSOD errors. These are some of the BSOD codes I got (I wasn't able to catch a few of them because they went by too fast):
1) page_fault_in_non_paged_area
***STOP: 0x00000050 (0xFFFFFA7F9EB078FD, 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFF8000D9B0A79, 0x0000000000000007
2) driver_irql_not_less_or_equal
3) irql_not_less_or_equal

4) ***STOP: 0x0000007E (0xFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF800D6D3D56, 0xFFFFF88003B85408, 0xFFFFF88003B84C60)
5) An attempt was made to execute to non-executable memory.

6) Various *.sys files errored, such as ntfs.sys, classnp.sys and luafv.sys
I hope my formatting wasn't too messy. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make it easier to read, or if there's anything else you need to know.
Thanks!
