Hello, I've just finished building my new PC, I've installed windows 8.1 on it on SSD and every thing worked very fine, I insert the Motherboard's DVD to install the drivers and I have chosen to auto install driver it gave me an alert that system will restart 5 times during installation I've accepted and it started to install drivers, In the 4th restart when it starts up after 5 mins when it continued the installation of drivers it lagged by it self ( Mouse can't be moved anymore ) I've waited for 10 minutes but nothing changed so my only choice was to restart the PC from restart button on the case, I've done that, When it starts again auto installation continues but it lagged again when it was installing the same driver but this time it automatically gave me this error in windows 8.1 errors dead blue screen ( Machine_Check_Exception ) and it restarted, Now every time when windows 8.1 loading screen finish it give me the same error then stuck on the error without doing anything, When I refresh the bios boot settings for the hard has gone so now I can't boot from anything always when it finish DOS windows loading screen it restarts, Things I've tried:
1) Changing Rams ( But nothing changed same problem still exist )
2) Changing CPU Liquid cooler ( Same problem )
3) Restoring the BIOS ( Same Problem)
4) Updating the BIOS to the latest version
5) Trying to boot from USB Flash ( When it finish windows loading screen it restarts by it self )
5) Booting from DVD Driver ( When it finish windows loading screen it restarts by it self )
6) Booting from USB to Linux system ( System opens but when I choose (Start live) Every thing stucks )
7) Changing HDD ( Same problem, Also I've tried to boot from already installed system in HDD but it transform me automatically to BIOS menu )

Please help me I don't know what else I can try 🙁

It sounds very much like a firmware update blew it apart. There's a number of firmware updates available, so it could be any one of them. If I'm right, some part of the mobo is bricked.
Watch the LED "Q-codes". That's the two alpha-numeric leds on your mobo. Write them down as they flash, then look them up on pages1-26 to 1-30 in your manual.
It should give you at least some idea of what's going on, or what it's doing before it crashes.
I honestly have no idea how one would go about fixing a failed firmware update.


Actually I've tried that but nothing changed also I tried with a single Corsair Ram I think the problem is from the Motherboard not something else :<
 


I bought it from Amazon, Do you think they will return it? I'm scared because I've not bought 2 more years warranty with it 🙁
