Each motherboard always has the same problem. The boot device led turns red and stays red. If I can get to the bios and can go into the Boot Tab and force Boot the pc to Windows 7 Ultimate. But when I try to restart with all the peripherals hooked up I can not even get to the Bios.

If you ca, test the HDD in another PC, if your HDD/OS works fine, then I would say you have a faulty CPU.
Contact the company you purchased your CPU from, explain that it is faulty, and ask for a refund/exchange.

EDIT: Also, what PSU do you have? if you have a cheap, low standard power supply, it may be frying your system...
