Built a new pc installed Windows 7 and after updates it was unbelievably fast. Was very happy with my purchase. Next day I tried to plug it into my hdmi monitor and it had no signal. (Installed everything with vga) So I went back to vga instead and loaded a game that i had play the day I built it. No mouse cursor in game... if I windowed a game I could see it but I tried all the help I could find online and nothing worked. Got back on a day later and my system booted to (inserting an index entry into index $0 of 25) so i did what I needed to from online help and it finish repairing but after it was done my os didn't seem right. Then it BSOD after a couple days so wiped everything and installed a copy of windows 10. Thought if it was a corrupted os this fresh start would fix it. Started getting BSOD soon after install. Just idling it crashed. Browsing the web.. crash. Playing simple games on steam... wait for it.... BSOD!!! Blues screen gave error (WHEA uncorrectable error ) from what I found its from faulty hardware. HELP PLEASE. If I have bad hardware what could it be. It's all out of the sealed box new.

System specs:
Cpu: I5 4690k
Mobo: ASUS Z97-A 3.1
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws 4x4 16
Psu: Corsair 600w ATX 12
Gpu: just the integrated graphics until I get this worked out then the msi gtx 970 4g gaming.

Asus ai 3 5 way optimization shows low Temps and volts so I'm not pushing my cpu and the games I've played are not demanding in the slightest.

Turns out it was a user error. My asus mobo was set up to oc in BIOS and also in ai suite iii. So I cleared the mobo to default and ran it through their 5 way op and now it works great. No BSOD.
