I recently built a new PC, and have been having some issues getting it to work. After everything was setup, I start to install windows off a USB and everything was going well. About halfway through, the screen froze. I eventually had to restart it, and now every time the computer starts it will eventually freeze. I have seen "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" as well as "CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT" and a few others. I thought it might be my CPU overheating, so I removed the thermal paste and reapplied a new layer. After this, it made it all the way through to me being inside windows 8.1 on my desktop. After a few minutes of use it would freeze up, however. Now it can only sometimes get back there and when it does it freezes. What could be the issue?
Update: After the most recent crash I can no longer make it through to Windows. Upon restarting, the computer will either freeze almost immediately on the motherboard's loading window, or make it through to the blue screen telling me windows crashed last time. Once at that screen, none of the options seem to help me make any progress.
Update 2:
I can now get it to run in regular safe mode, but not network enabled safe mode (does this mean its a lan driver error?). I also received this error "The Instruction at 0x####### referenced memory at 0x#######. The memory could not be read'" one time after trying to go into normal mode, crashing, and returning to safe mode.
Whoever helps me fix this error can have a free Windows 8.1 Pro key I have!!
