Need help! with my I7 1366 upgrade
I can’t get the system to install windows it loads and then as soon as it gets to starting windows it blue screens. I have checked all of the voltages, and tried only using one ram stick and ram, a ram test which came back at ok, and tried windows xp, vista and 7, Different hdds and an up to data bios and still no joy.
I thought it was the motherboard so i have now tried another one with the ending with the same results.
Any help would be very much appreciated as i am all out of ideas
Thanks
 
i have now tryed
2 mobos
3 hdds
2 graphics cards and tried the other slot
Have tested the ram and tried different slots
 
This thread suggests boosting Vcore because "some auto vcore's may not be enough".

But without knowing what parts you are using, it's difficult to give any further advice. Tell us what CPU, motherboards, hard drives and video cards you've used; include both brand names and model numbers.
 
gigabyte x58a-oc mobo
I7 950
ATI 5870 and a small card out of a working pc i have no idea what it is
corsair XMS3 6gb kit
samsung f1 1tb hdd
WD 750gb black
and a laptop hdd

and this mobo has a button on it that overclooks to 4ghz when i press that it installs windows and blue screen on the start up screen

Thanks for the help i have got work now so will look back here at about 9pm
 
ok i have now installed windows and stress testing @ 1.38v on the core voltage that seems excessive and is unstable @1.36v
 
Yeah.....x124 BSOD is usually due to not enough Vcc (Vcore).

You could try changing your Uncore from 18x to 16x or 17x; I found that I couldn't get a good OC with it left on auto, and auto generally uses 18x. Once I changed it to 16x I was able to get 4.0 easily on both i7 920's that I had; I believe both only needed 1.3Vcc to do so.

In the meantime - start following this, it helped me out a lot.

Definitely a possibility, and the first thing I would try, but I have also had this from RAM too. I would try more volts, then different RAM if that does not stop it. It is absolutely hardware.
