Hello I have a setup that has not run since I bought it, the problem is when installing an OS, it either crashes or an error pops up, one time today I got a blue screen of death when the windows installation was at about 40%.

My setup is:

Board: Asus M5a97x Evo 2.0
Ram: Corsair Vengance 4GBx2 and G.SKll RipJaw 8GBx1
Processor: AMD FX 4130 3.8GHz Quad Core
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB
HD: Seagate 128SSD and a 1TB SATA

At first I thought it was the RAM so I bought the corsair vengance that was specified in the manual, still the same problem so I thought it was the board and I sent it for warranty and apparently they changed a piece and sent it back but it still has the same problem.

There were some wierd thing in the bios, it said that the processor speed was 4.1ghz when it really is 3,8, also it showed the 16gb of ram but listed the speed as 1433Mhz, when the corsair speed is 1600 and the G.Skill is 1866, I moved some things in the bios and set the speed to DOHC something like that and the figures appeare normal, processor speed 3.8 and ram speed 1660 Mhz, I tried installing windows just after that and I got my first blue screen of death, for reference I have my Corsair RAM on the first and third slots and the GSkill on the second.

I have read and they said that the problem could be the ram voltage, that I should set it to 1.6v but it is just below 1.5v, and when I set it to manual and try to increase it it doesn't seem to change.

Here are some screenshots.

Thanks for taking the time to read it.

I did that just now with the 8gb stick on the first slot and it failed at about 40%, as an update before that I tried to install windows again and for the first time it finished the first step of Installing Windows files, but after rebooting I got an error that said that windows was damaged and that I should repair it, no way of ever going back to the inatallatio .

Already did that too and it's still freezing, I'm convinced the motherboard is not working properly and would have to send it for warranty to asus again.
