Ok guys, I am perplexed. This should have been simple, but has been anything but.
components: ASUS p8Z77 V LK motherboard, i3 3225, ocz ssd hard drive. As I install the os, it gets past the initial software loading of windows 7. As the windows graphic swirls! It blows a tire and bsod's with a 0x1e error (all other pointers are 0x0 ). At first, I thought it was the motherboard, so I worked with asus and rma'd the original motherboard. Got it back and plugged everything in, booted up to the bios, checked everything out. Looked good. Tried to install the os, and again.... Bsod's the same error message to me. Research a little on the CPU and see that it supports 1333/1600 ddr3. I noted that the gskill I was using was running faster than the CPU was rated for, so I went out and bought 1300 ram... Same error. I swapped the hard drive in case something was wrong with the target, same error. Changed the board from ah I to IDE ... Same error. Installed a discrete graphics card just in case the integrated hd4000 gpu in the CPU was suspect, same issue. The only thing I have not changed out, altered settings on is the CPU.
Having never built a z77 based build, this is leaving a larger than large "foul" taste in my mouth. Am I missing something here? I'm no rookie, but Lordy, this build is making me feel stupid!
I'm contacting intel tomorrow to try and swap the CPU, as that is the only part I have not traded/swapped, but that is likely going to take a few days. If anyone here has any suggestions, I would certainly appreciate and welcome your suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Craig
