On average about 70% of the time on boot I get a blue screen at the windows log in as you can clearly hear in the background the welcome music. I've tried all sorts of things at first suspecting my USB 7 port hub, then testing my 4 sticks of memory, then changing out my BFG video card for BFG GTX260 card. Calling Microsoft had then pointing the finger at BFG and my drivers (all are up to date) calling BFG had then point fingers to Corsair for my RAM, emailing Corsair had them suggest testing each stick (all individual tests proved the same boot issues) then calls to MSI and AMD have proved that at least they are willing to test my components when I pull from the system and advise.
But before I do that I wanted to give the Window 7 Forum another chance as I've found this site to be amazing in it's depth of knowledge and level of help!

The good news is sometimes the system will boot on it's first attempt the bad news is sometimes it can take 2-3 even as many as 7 attempts to get past the BSOD. Once done though the system will perform well with only an occasional lock up!
Thanks in advance and please be patient for as much as I know about computers this forum is teaching me tons but I have much to learn !
