first of all plug in the HDD, click no to that format messages. Open CMD, type chkdsk X: /f/r (X is the the Drive Letter). If it fails than try this data recovery software. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

Also if your case is dusty get an air duster, http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=air%20duster&sprefix=air+d%2Celectronics&rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aair%20duster Use it with a vaccum cleaner to collect the dust once it is off your system.

Can you not open multiple threads please, it gets confusing.

Try and get into Safe mode and see if you can go through recovery.

Does your case have adequate cooling? Also see if your GPU has dust on the fans and heatsink as this can increase temp.

Take out the ram and reinsert and do the same with the other connections, make sure there is no dust on the connections.

When you inserted the usb, did you make your usb the primary boot drive? If not then this is why you had to take out the HDD and SSD to boot from usb. Make sure that your GPU, ram and wire connections are inserted properly.

Make sure that your components are connected properly, the ram might not be connected properly, whcih can sometimes cause blue screen. If this don't work, write down the STOP code wich comes up on the blue screen, and have a look around on the internet to find out the source of the problem.

How much ram? Other then that yes it seems to be good.

Go for teh Gigaybyte motherboard as it has more features also i would think it would be more reliable than the two other boards.

Q1 - The Intel Xeon is not supported on the Z77 chipset, also Intel Xeon are targeted for servers, workstations so a i7 would be better for gaming. Q2 - There is not much performance increase on the Haswell processors (4th Gen Intel), so you are better of just getting the 3770k, the 4770k will...

You make one up in your head....

You should look primarily on graphics cards however you will need decent ram, cpu to run crysis. Some games rely more on a cpu than others for example battllefield 3, but almost all games rely on the GPU. I would get a i7 3770K, 8gb ram at 1866mhz, and probably get a 7970.

They games will run fine the specs you have listed, however i would recommend getting the 3570k as it is only $5-10 more than the 3570 just incase you may want to overclock in the future.
