System specs:
AMD 8350
8(4gbx2)gb crucial ballistix
970 Extreme3 R2.0 Asrock mobo
120gb Samsung 840 evo SSD
evga 8800gt

I just bought the 8350, mobo, and ssd. Trying to install a fresh copy of Win7, already went to UEFI setup->Advanced->Storage Config->SATA Mode AHCI Mode.

The problem is, when installing, after the "completing installation" section and a restart, it shows the windows logo, then goes to a black screen with a blinking underscore. I have tried a different install disk with the same luck. Anyone have any ideas?

I suggest you run Memtest to ensure your ram is functioning properly.

Why not, better be safe than sorry. If ram is failing it will cause other symptoms as well.
