I recently added some new parts to my gaming PC. After adding the parts, my pc booted fine then blue screened shortly after booting. My friend and I looked back at the parts we added and found that the thermal paste wasn't applied properly. After fixing the heating problem whenever I booted the pc it would freeze up at the login screen. I tinkered with drivers and found the problem to be my TP-Link wireless adapter drivers. After restoring the system to before the drivers where added my pc worked fine for about 20-30min today.

Sadly, when I booted it up just a few minutes ago it blue screened again. I tired to restart and go into safe mode but it blue screened when I tried to login. Now, when i try to boot my pc locks up at the MSI logo screen and then turns itself off.

I am VERY new to building and lack any real experience with anything like this. All help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Parts list:

Intel Core i5-4690k 3.5 GHz Quad Core.(new)

MSI Z97-Gaming 5 ATX LGA1150(new)

G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2x4) DDR3-1866(old)

WD Caviar Blue 1TB(old)

ASUS GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB VC(old)

FSP Aurum S series 400W PSU(old)

Windows 7


Update: My pc doesn't even reach the MSI logo screen any more. My pc turns on then after a few seconds just turns itself off.I am at a loss on what to do here.

What were your parts list prior to the upgrades? Please include your wireless adapters into the mix as well.

It's highly advised to reinstall your OS once you've moved onto a new motherboard and CPU combo. From the way you've posted above it seems like you merely transferred the OS drive from your old machine and connected it to your new motherboard. Break out your bootable USB installer for your OS and try and reinstall your operating system and the problem should be non existent. On that note, I hope your critical data is backed up(like documents and other sensitive data) onto an external storage device?

Rule out your ram being the culprit by going into BIOS and manually setting your ram to 1600MHz and not 1866 as this will cause...
