New motherboard is causing a BSOD before windows boot up

I am having an issue with my home built PC. I built it quite awhile ago and just today decided to swap out the motherboard for one that supports sli as I have two gtx 660's. I switched everything out, double checking (now quintuple checked) to make sure everything is properly plugged in.

Upon boot up my computer gives on a single beep, shows the motherboard logo (and bios launcher) screen. I can access the bios, monitor my system, make changes, etc without any issues. After that screen goes away the start windows normally or in recovery mode screen appears where recovery mode doesn't do anything but recommend doing a recovery to a previous date (likely about an hour ago.) The start normally option takes me through and shows me the windows orbs whereafter it quickly flashes a BSOD and reboots to a beep and the bios launcher.

I have since disabled the auto restart on failure using F8 and looked up the first hexadecimal code given. 0x0000007B. After looking at this I'm not sure what to do. From what I have found it's either a virus (nope, never recieved a BSOD on this pc in it's almost 3 years of life including lots of component exchanges. This is the second new motherboard I've had go into this system after I updated my CPU to an fx-8350. No hiccups there.) My previous motherboard was a gigabyte 970a-ds3 rev 2.1 and now its a 990FXA-ud3 rev 4.0.

My only idea is that the sata controller on the board may be the problem? And I'm not sure how to fix that. The full code given to me is:
"0x0000007b (0xFFFFF880009A97E8, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0000000000000000,m0x0000000000000000)"

This is my first time trying to deal with a BSOD so I am at a complete loss at what to do. Any help or tips could save my PC, wallet, and my day.

Thanks in Advance,

Well I figured it out. My old motherboard had the operating system installed to the hdd to boot in native IDE while my new motherboard was trying to boot it in AHCI. A simple change in the bios from AHCI to native IDE and voila perfect boot up. I had no idea there were two formats for installing OS.


because I bought the 4gb cards when I initially built my system and was expecting to get the same sticks again to fill the other slots. However when I wanted to get more ram the prices on 8gb cards had dropped so I picked up a 16gb kit from amd.
 


It's not a ram issue. If it was my system wouldn't show that it was loading the windows then crash right after. It wouldn't make it past the bios launcher screen, I've had poorly placed sticks before, it just beeped 3 times then tried to restart then.
 
try boot in safe mode first.if it not boot then can be Windows boot drivers or your hard drive problems then.
