Corsair TR3X6G1600C8D 3X2GB

have you tried the PSU or rather think that it might be the cause ?

 

[jlewis02]

The psu is at 12.1v in the bios

It could be a HDD issue if you can get into the bios and all . Or just plain bad ram . I would try the HDD since you have done the RAM or take the RAM into best buy or some were to have it tested .

Reseat the CPU and re-install the cooler.
If it persists RMA the Mobo.

It worked for alittle bit I was installing windows when I got the first bsod.

I think that you will find the HDD is the problem . I hope it is any way

 

[jlewis02]

I hope its something simple
Never had any problems building pc's before this one is killing me.

I think hardrive too Unless the default bios is setting your ram at the wrong voltage (happens).

And yes beeps are good it means your motherboard is working and finding fault with installed hardware.

No bleeps = bad (RMA the mobo) unless you didnt plug in the speaker then you should hear one lovely bleep,

Other hdd seemed fine.
It beeps and goes though everything fine ram volts are 1.65v

Are you able to boot from the CD rom ?

 

[jlewis02]

Yes and I can boot to both hdd but the raptor bsod everytime.

That my friend is a HDD problem . They both are not compatible with your new setup for some reason . I just know this is what it is I have had this same issue before and I used 4 HDD's and had to go buy a new one . Have you done a Full format not just a quick one ? If not you can try formatting the HDD's like 2 or even 4 times that might do the trick . But I am convinced that it is a HDD issue .

Does the VR work on any other systems?

 

[jlewis02]

I was useing the vr in my old system never had any problems with it.

That doesn't mean that this system will not have issue with it .

 

[jlewis02]

Im formating the vr from a diff drive maybe it will work.
When I went to install win7 it didnt do a format like I have seen before.

Well now you will find out . This is your problem and it is nothing more than your HDD . Good luck have fun .

 

[jlewis02]

I hope it works.
I will get a ssd at some point but dont have the money right now

 

[Kreij]

$20 says it's the mobo.
