I made a computer around 4 months ago that worked fine for a single month. After that, everytime I booted it up, it refused to start without a bluescreen error. I was able to boot in safe mode so things could be done about it. I made a thread and people said 'Your windows is corrupt! Re-install it!'. I do that, now everytime I install windows it bluescreens, doesn't allow me to even go into safe mode. After a lot of running around and asking people who knew nothing about what they were doing , I took it to Best Buy where they said 'since your bluescreen error is different everytime, it is a motherboard failure!'. Ok, at least these guys are reputable, so I thought I could just send the motherboard in to see if that was the case. It was indeed broken, something about the cpu socket was messed up. Asus didn't want to replace it for free, and were charging more than what it actually cost originally to repair it. I simply just got a new motherboard, now I can't even boot my usb which has the windows media on it. Every time i get a bluescreen, I search it up and everytime I get some error related to 'out dated drivers' or 'incompatible/no drivers'. I can't exactly fix that through a program without an install of windows which some people fail to understand. If you guys have any ideas, leave a comment on this thread. thanks :)

well if you replaced the motherboard and STILL have a bluescreen error, then something else is causing the problem.

What are your PC specs?
how is it assembled?
do you have a surge protector / UPS ?

if you go into the bios screen, do you see any error messages? Does everything show as expected?

Bios screen is pretty normal. My pc specs are an i5 6500, G.Skill 16 GB (2 sticks of 8), CX 500W Corsair PSU, 1 TB western blue digital, Corsair Spec-02, MSI H110M Gaming motherboard. It was a computer that I built, and I am not sure if I have a surge protector, but one time I remember turning on my screen after it was in sleep mode, and it said something like 'computer was shut down due to power supply sending surges' and I believe that signal to stop the computer was coming from the motherboard, so I might. Thanks :)

Also wanted to mention, after reloading and reloading the USB media, I got it to work for approximately 7 seconds. Confirms I didn't simply just install the USB Windows 10 Media Incorrectly.

It could be you CPU, or your ram or your PSU -- since the motherboard is new.

because its constantly giving bluescreen errors I suspect either CPU or RAM.
You can try installing with 1 stick of RAM in your motherboard to see if that helps. but if the cpu is bad you still still get the same errors.

How would I test CPU? I'll try testing ram and I'll update this thread once I have. I want to test all of this without having to purchase anything, so I'll try RAM first.

Everytime I get a bluescreen, it is different. Sometimes I get a previous one, but usually different. I search them all up though, they all say something with drivers which is how I came to that conclusion. Do you know what it could mean if the Bluescreen was relatively different everytime? Thanks :)

Sorry for the EXTREMELY late response, but one stick of RAM didn't work and the computer still blue-screened. I would like to mention that when the computer was working, I remember turning on my computer in the morning and seeing a blue-screen. I booted it in safe-mode. but didn't do anything in safe mode. Just tried to see if I had downloaded anything. I exited safe mode (Without making any changes) and then booted up in normal mode. Worked fine. I started talking to some friends online and right in the middle, no heads-up by Windows everything closes and I get 'installing security update'. After the update, same bluescreens. Safe mode doesn't work and I did everything I could before I simply gave up and reset it. The reset didn't work, so I figured I may need to get a new copy of windows and do a fresh install. Still nothing which is when I come to this thread. All the bluescreen errors I get (Which seem to all be familiar, just never the same one appearing over and over) lead me to something related with outdated or malfunctioning drivers. I'll try to make a notepad and write down all of the bluescreen errors I get and make a post here on the complete list. Thanks again for your help :)

I am sure it was drivers, since most errors say drivers. I am booting for a flash drive with a media on it. It usually gives a purple screen and I get a bluescreen when booting from that

When you boot the media on the usb to install windows. There is a purple screen. http://i1-win.softpedia-static.com/screenshots/Windows-Installation-Media-Creation-Tool_2.png << That is a picture of what I see. I set the boot priority to the usb and then boot from the usb. It'll boot the media, but for some reason even booting the media now bluescreen my pc.

I think I did do that. I went onto Microsoft's website and there was a media creation tool for windows 10. I ran it on a seperate computer and made an installation media. I put that on a flash drive and booted from that. Any other ideas?

Not sure exactly what you mean, but I cant even run the flash drive anymore on my broken computer. Bluescreens when I do that now ever since I swapped motherboards thinking the old one was the problem.

But to answer your question if I deleted all of the partions, I did delete all of them when I was installing originally on the old motherboard.
