First time posting - thanks to all in advance.
(if posting in wrong area - sorry - will try again)
I have a new build that I am working on. (have built dozens in the past)
Using Intel i7-2600K cpu, Intel DP67BG board.
Intel 80gb SSD, Corsair memory, corsair 750 psu, GeForce GTX550ti video.
Cooler Master case.
Assembly went fine and I can access BIOS screens with no problem.
Tried installing Windows xp/2 on new Intel 80gb SSD - got to where it was copying files then went to blue screen of death.
Tried using known stable installation of XP on another hard drive - bsod on windows startup.
Tried using known stable installation of Windows 7 ultimate on another SSD, same - bsod on startup.
Swaped out video card and ram with known working components - same as above - blue screen!
Updated bios on mobo to 2111 (show as most current on Intel website) - updated fine from USB thumb drive, but still won't load any of the versions of Windows I have.
Never had this type of problem before. I am assuming that the problem lies with the mobo or cpu as I have swapped out all other components with same results. If a driver issue of some type - how to update Windows if it won't load windows to begin with??
Any advice or suggestions welcome .. thanks.
