i recently upgraded my pc to a asus m5a97 evo r2.0, amd fx 8320 and 8Gb of corsair vengeance RAM and now whenever i try to run windows 7 i blue screen with not enough time to see the error code however i am able to run linux without any problems.
 
Solution
On a Windows boot, hit the Function 8 key and select "Disable automatic restart on system failure" and that should make the blue screenn stand still long enough to not ethe details. Post them back here and someone will be able to help. The alpha-numeric code 0x000000?? will be helpful.

Solution
you can also upload the memory .dmp file to a cloud server like google docs and someone can read the error code with a windows debugger ,bluescreenview.exe or whocrashed.exe

Note: if you upgraded the hardware you might want to go into the BIOS and reset the defaults and reconfigure and reboot. This will force the BIOS to rebuild its small database of hardware info that it sends to windows.
