Good morning,
I recently build a new machine (last night) and followed the instruction manual for each part. Everything seems to fit correctly and all cables seemed to be where they should be. However, I'm using an old hard drive with an already installed version of Windows 7 64 bit. The BIOS loads correctly and shows all parts are connected but once I try to boot from the drive it shows the 'Windows Loading' screen and then stops and gives me a BSOD stating "Bad_Pool_Header". I'm very nervous that I may have damaged one of the parts during installation and would be disappointing as I've saved for three months just to build this... total anti-climax feeling last night!
Any insight into this would be great. Please see below for my specs:
CPU - Intel 3rd Generation Core i5-3570K CPU (4 x 3.40GHz, Ivy Bridge, Socket 1155, 6Mb L3 Cache, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0)
Ram - Patriot 8GB (2x 4GB) 1600MHz Dual Channel DDR3 Viper 3 Black Mamba Memory Kit
SSD - Crucial CT128M4SSD2 128GB M4 SATA III 6Gb/s MLC 2.5 Inch Internal SSD
HDD - Not sure of make and model, sorry.
MOBO - AsRock Z77 Extreme6 Motherboard (Socket 1155, Intel Z77, Up to 32GB DDR3, ATX, USB 3.0, 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s, 7.1 CH HD Audio with Content
Case - Cooler Master HAF X USB 3.0 XL ATX Case
PSU - OCZ ZX Series 850W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply
GPU - KFA2 GeForce GTX 680 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
CPU Cooler - V8 Cooler Master
All parts are brand new and only came out of the box last night once everything arrived. I'm totally at a loss as what to do next but I've been unable to install any drivers for the mobo and gpu as I can't access windows. Would it be down to the old version of windows not being compatible with the new hardware? I'm just praying this is not a hardware :/
Thank you for your time and efforts, I appreciate any help. Furthermore, please don't hesitate to request further information.
Kind regards,
