Clean install, won't boot

[gvelasquez88]

I got a new motherboard and APU, and went to clean install Windows 7 on my HDD. Install went swimmingly, I set my computer's name and password, clicked to avoid automatic downloads so I can know what I'm downloading and make that decision, and it goes to restart.

Then, when it tries to reboot, it blue screens, and brings me to the Startup Repair screen. Startup Repair fails to fix anything, and I am stuck a HDD that blue screens at every attempt to load Windows.

I don't have a disc drive, so please don't offer solutions that involve one. I installed from USB, and have tried to repair from the USB, but it says the version of the repair tool is different from the version of Windows.

Help?

Have you tried in Safe Mode?

It doesn't offer safe mode. I go through installation, it takes my settings, says "WELCOME... PREPARING YOUR DESKTOP... SHUTTING DOWN... LOGGING OFF"

Then when it restarts, it blue screens and restarts again. When it loads, it only offers Startup Repair or start computer normally.

May just want to start over and install anew, if using multiple sticks of DRAM try with only a single stick in slot 1

I only have 1 stick of RAM in and this is my fourth attempt to install

Might be a bad install copy of the OS (maybe corrupt)
