BSOD on startup after installation of new motherboard.

[jchute4203]

A couple of weeks ago my computer randomly blue screened with the error message "KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED." I do not remember downloading anything or updating my drivers but they might be set to install automatically. After turning it back on, it blue screened five minutes later. After that, the computer did not start at all. Sometimes it didn't even get past the BIOS screen.
I got a new motherboard thinking that it might resolve the issue. It got past the BIOS screen, windows startup repair began to run, then it blue screened. This happens every time I start it. I tried inserting windows installation media and booting to it, but that didn't work. I also tried pressing F8 to start in safe mode but that also didn't work.
I tried switching out the ram, switching ram slots, but nothing changed. I tried putting in a new hard drive without windows and installation media, I tried changing out the hard drive for another one with windows on it, but no success.
I updated my BIOS, nothing changed. I found a setting to enable support windows 8 and 10 and enabled it (before it was only windows 7). That only caused it to open BIOS on startup, and nothing after.
I'm getting desperate to fix this but don't want to pay anyone for it. Keep in mind I cannot access the operating system what so ever. I appreciate any help.
Current Motherboard: MSI H110M Gaming
Processor: Intel i5 6400k

Could you post all your system components.
When you saw the BSOD, did you happen to see what was listed at the bottom under What failed:?

Clear CMOS and leave only a RAM module, the new hard disk and the USB installation media connected to a USB 2.0 port (the ports below the LAN port).
Press the F11 key during POST to get into Boot Menu.
Select your USB drive from the Boot Menu.
Hit Enter when screen shows Press any key to boot from USB...
message.
Follow the instructions on the screen to install Windows.

Thanks for your reply.
When I boot to the installation media I get the message,
"Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key."
When I press enter or any key it just re-enters the message.
The file that is listed as failed changes each time and so does the BSOD error.
Some others that I get frequently:
system_thread_exception_not_handled
irql_not_less_or_equal

Try creating a new USB Windows installation media, it appears that one might not be wroking.
Below the Microsoft websites to get Windows versions
Windows 10
Windows 8.1
Windows 7

That's where I downloaded the iso file from then converted it to a flash drive using rufus.
I went into my bios and enabled windows 8/10 support but then the flash drive doesn't appear as a bootable device.

Are you installing Windows 10?
Download and use the Windows media creation tool to created the USB installation media.
You will need a USB flash drive with at least 8GB of space.
Reset the BIOS to default settings
Then boot from the USB by pressing the F11 key during POST to get into Boot Menu.

I'm installing windows 8.1

Just curious, why would you go with 8.1 instead of 10?

8.1 is what I had before, I don't have a 10 product key.

8.1 is what I had before, I don't have a 10 product key.

If you have Windows 7 or 8.1 product key, it will work with Windows 10.
During setup you can select that you don't have the product key then allow Windows 10 to automatically activate and if it doesn't then use the Windows 7 or 8.1 product key.

I used the windows 10 installation tool to create boot media but whenever I boot to it I get the windows logo and a loading circle then a BSOD.
kmode_exception_not_handled - fbwf.sys - wimfsf.sys
system_thread_exception_not_handled
irql_not_less_or_equal
system_service_exception - fltmgr.sys
kernal_security_check_failure
bad_pool_caller
driver irql_less_or_not_equal

Are you getting those messages after clearing the BIOS and with only one RAM module?
Those errors appears when you have a damaged disk or memory (RAM) corruption.

I cleared the BIOS and was using only one ram module. I changed out the module I was using for another one and still got the same outcome.

Try installing Windows again and now select the “Custom: Install Windows only (Advanced)” option.
Select each partition listed and click delete until you are left with one listed and it should look like this 'Drive 0 Unallocated space'
Click Next and the Windows setup should now begin. You might be informed that Windows setup is creating additional partitions.

I don't even get an option. It just blue screens before anything can happen.

Connect your disk drive to another SATA port or replace the SATA cable or replace the disk drive.

Unfortunately, no luck. I did run memtest86 and it found plenty of errors but closed itself before I could research any of them. I'll run it again and see what happens.

One error on Memtest86 is too many. One error could make your system hang, freeze or crash with a BSOD.
Try running Memtest86 with only one stick of RAM.
If that is a RAM kit then you might need to return it and get a replacement.
