So about a week ago I built my first computer. I did it correctly, all the hardware works and functions fine. I installed windows 7 home premium (64bit) and I've been having major problems ever since. I didn't notice the problems at first. What's happened is that I'll get random BSODs saying things like memory management or page fault in non paged area. I viewed all those files in bluescreenview and it said the cause of all the problems was the NT Kernel & System. I've also gotten blue screened while starting up, and sometimes I get a black screen instead of my windows desktop and windows tells me a handful of programs can't start (I get pop-ups on the black screen). So I looked around the internet and found out that I should run the windows repair tool. I have an older windows 7 disk, so I uninstalled service pack 1 and I ran the repair tool. My computer restarted and I clicked on setup (not windows 7) on my boot menu. Well it told me that the installation couldn't be started, and that's all I got. So then I formatted the disk and installed windows 7. That installation worked, and I rebooted. I still get the problems, and I think they're even worse. It's blue screened me while starting up and one time I couldn't search anything and windows explorer kept not responding. For some reason it won't start google chrome, as soon as I click on it, it instantly won't respond. Windows memory diagnostic didn't find anything wrong and my ram is installed just fine, my computer is very cool and I don't think overheating is the problem.

My specs:
ASUS M5A78L-M USB 3 Motherboard
AMD FX 6300 Six-core Processor, 3.5 Mhz
2 4GB (8GB in total) Sticks of memory
Seagate 1TB Hard Drive
SAPPHIRE Ultimate Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit Graphics Card

I have no idea what to do now, I just want to get my computer to work. I lost most of the minidump/crash files because I formatted the hard drive and installed windows, but it's crashed twice since then and I have both of those minidump files.

Here's the link to the two dmp files that I have:

First I would get rid of the Asus board entirely.
Second, the 1 TB drive, good for storing personal files.
BUT use a small drive just for the OS and programs. Set that small drive to boot first in the bios set up.
Store the personal files on the 1TB...documents, music, videos, pictures.
If you put OS and all personal files on one 1TB drive, it's going to run very slow.

BUT I will bet $1, if you replace the motherboard, things will run just fine.

Thanks for the response. I think I'll call newegg and get a refund. Even if the problem isn't the motherboard replacing it with a different board won't hurt. If this does solve my problem I'll be sure to update this thread.
