Hello.

I've just put together a new computer. I did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium to the SSD, and then went on to install the drivers disc that followed along with the motherboard. Along with this, Windows installed an update for itself.

Now, when booting, it'll open to the desktop, sit for a few seconds then immediately BSOD and give the 0x0000001E error. As this is the case, it doesn't give me enough time to open any programs that might help.

Up until the drivers disc installation, everything worked without a hitch. There wouldn't happen to be some magical way to wipe a drive from the BIOS, would there?

Specs:
Intel 4770K
Asus B85-Plus
Kingston HyperX 2x8GB
MSi GTX 770
Crucial MX100 SSD - 256GB

If the BSOD does not occur after the driver installation, it is good and we may consider the issue as a glitch only.

But if the issue occurs again, post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

The issue is recurring, and happened only after the driver installation. As I said, I only get a few seconds on the desktop before it BSOD's, so I don't have enough time to run any programs.

I don't mean to sound disrespectful or anything, but I can't do that.

I'm on a laptop beside the desktop pc right now, hence why I can actually post.

When the system boots, it opens to the default desktop, runs for a few seconds, then goes to BSOD. I can't get to the download fast enough, let alone download and run it in those few seconds.

I'll try unplugging the SSD, install on the HDD and then see if I can wipe the SSD.

Edit:
Installing windows on the HDD, wiping the SSD then reinstalling worked. Instead of downloading all the drivers bulk from the motherboard driver disc, I only installed the ones I really needed. There's no problems so far, so it must have been a glitch in the installation or something.
