Hello everyone.
My new build is finally complete.
Mb: msi z170 Gaming Pro
Cpu: i5 6600k
Gpu: Sapphire Nitro R9 390 8G
Ram: Corsair Vengeance Lpx 2x8gb
Psu: EVGA 650 Gold
SSD: Samsung Evo 850 250gb
Cooler: Thermalright Macho Rev.B
And all this in fractal design Define S Case.


Problem :
Very frecvent errors with blue screen, and now is not posting anymore at all:
ERRORS:
Machine_check_exception or
Clock_watchdog_timeout or
System_service_exception.

The errors occurs during installing OS (in the middle of the process) causing the installation to fail and being forced to start over. After a few attempts, usually about 3 to 6 the OS is installed. Now, during Windows session it freeze and after short period (5-20 sec) - blue screen with one of the errors (mostly the first 2). During boot and boot menu are no problems. After boot nothing is certain. No matter of applications installed because I didn't have time between errors to install even the drivers some times. ( I have installed Windows 7 (my personal copy) and 8, 8.1 and 10 as original trial versions downloaded from Microsoft official site).

The most stable was with Windows 10 and Game Boost applied from Boot menu to 4,1 MHz for cpu (the preset overclock from Motherboard) and I had time to run AIDA 64 and a stress test for about almost 2 hours after upgrading bios, installing drivers and updating the OS.. Cpu temp went never over 69°Celsius during the stress test, so I know that can't be do to overheating.. I've took out the gpu and changed slots for ram in every possible way too. Last night, I've turned the Game Boost off and after that it didn't worked anymore and the diagnostic cpu led on motherboard stays on rec and led for power and SSD activity turned complet off. No posting to monitor anymore.

Thank you for your answer.
Already tried with every stick by turns in every slot.. Same thing. I think the motherboard or the cpu have build problems. I want to send them back. I'm waiting for reply from reseller.

I didn't use any of the presets of the motherboard until the last few days when I used all my other options.. Every windows installation I've reset the default options for Bios and clear cmos.. I'm waiting for reply from reseller and I'll be back with news. Thank's everyone for participating to this discution

Don't worry.. I've learned my lesson 2.. I thought I would like the rgb leds, but it actually looks like a Christmas tree... I was between Asus pro gaming and this.

I have received a new cpu just the 3 days ago. Motherboard is still in service....

This is my experience with my new 1400 euro PC. My old AMD is still running with the Athlon 64 3500+ cpu.. and 4g ddr2..and a power supply for 450wats with no markings on it. Disappointing experience.. Intel the expensive and better manufacturer and MSI also totally blew it.. It is probably just one of them that ruined the oder.

It was a warranty problem. After a month waiting they send me another one also repaired (it works good for now), and a new CPU because the MB fried the first one.

Old topic and problem fixed, but for people who may encounter this problem:

I had this too. I took all my old parts and built them onto the MB with 6600K cpu.
I flashed Bios and was able to boot on my old WINDOWS VISTA (Believe it or not, Vista indeed).
I then rebooted with NEW harddisk inserted in 2nd slot, again on Vista.
Continuing, I Installed Windows 10 on NEW harddisk.
Took it all apart.
Rebuilt the NEW build.
Worked like a charm.
Maybe this is of some use for someone, sometime.. :)
