hey guys, I just threw together a family PC for christmas and I'm having issues. After the first boot, I proceeded to install drivers and things and everything was VERY slow.. even though its a quad core phenom ii...

heres the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/shane1027/saved/37qC


data transfer was 3.3mb/s max on my seagate barracuda...
and now, the thing won't even boot... just gets bsod after the windows splash screen for about 3 min and restarts it self in a loop.


Any ideas? It's a 2tb harddrive for the OS, could that be an issue with my cheap motherboard? I could really use some help as this is a christmas present!

The motherboard is very low quality, pair that information with the fact that it's refurbished, it's probably the motherboard.
