So I have recently completed my new build and have hit a wall at OS install.

I can get into my bios and also the windows 8 install. I run through the first couple steps of install including installing features and it says that it needs to restart to continue.

As soon as it restarts I get the blue screen of death irql_not_less_or_equal error and it will need to restart.

On the second restart I just get a white message box stating that windows shut down incorrectly and will have to be restarted. This step just continues to repeat itself.

I have done this a couple times now. I have been getting around it be booting to my disk drive and formating the ssd and starting the install process again.

Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated! Any additional information that you need just let me know.

Thank you
