What BSOD are you getting? there are 255 codes so helps to be more specific

most of time I find if windows won't install the blame is ram - try testing each stick with memtest86, it creates a bootable USB so no need for windows to run it. Any errors are too many and will be cause of bsod, need to remove/replace ram

I already found out on how to fix it I took off all of my ram and tested one by one on which one worked and now Im down to 4gb of ram. So thanks for the advice though.
