    Hey,

    First of all Merry Christmas to all! Now to the issue, this Christmas I received some new parts for my computer, these parts include:

    - Intel i7 Core 3770k Ivy Bridge (http://amzn.to/TXRxd8)
    - Asus P8Z77-V PRO (http://amzn.to/12ECzh4)
    - Corsair H80i Liquid Cooler (http://amzn.to/ZzSBdf)

    I have installed all the parts (this is my first time upgrading parts like this) and I made sure that there was no static charge building up in me by touching a metal pipe going into the ground. However i'm not sure if its the hardware that is the issue, basically what happens when I power up the computer is the Asus POST screen comes up then it tries to find somewhere to boot then the "Windows Failed to start" screen pops up. I then attempt to start windows normally and the windows loading screen comes up however as soon as the little dots rotating appear on the windows loading screen my computer crashes and blue screens. My computer then reboots.

    I am using Windows 7 and the hard drives I am using are my previous HDD's from my old build, however they do not have any of the motherboards drivers on them, but I wouldn't have thought that this would cause windows to fail loading otherwise how else would I install the drivers.

    I am completely baffled as to why this is happening and i'm hoping someone here can find the issue and resolve it.

    If you need anymore information about the build then just reply here and I will hopefully be able to supply it to you.

    Additional Note: The system powers up fine, the fans are spinning fine and the LED's on the motherboard light up.

    Regards,
    Ryan.

    Hello,
    After changing the motherboard and CPU the best thing to do is to reinstall the OS. Also, you haven't given any information as to what RAM are you using.


    Just bought My new Horize laptop . I'm so proud of it so far.
    Intel Core i7-960 3.2-3.4Ghz Processor
    Innovation Cooling IC Diamond 24 Carat for CPU + GPU
    8GB 1333Mhz RAM (2x 4GB Configuration)
    500GB 7200rpm Seagate Hard Disk
    nVidia Geforce GTX560M 1.5GB GDDR5

    I agree, a fresh install of OS is one solution. How are you sure that there are no motherboard drivers on it? Also another thing that might have caused it, are the RAM from previous build to new motherboard compatible?
