I recently ordered and recieved three items to boost my computer's performance:
1) Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz
2) CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB
3) ASUS SABERTOOTH Z87

Current hardware:
GTX 550TI video card
Seagate Momentus XT 750GB
Seagate 1 TB drive
LG Blu-ray Burner
2 - Turbine case fans
PCIe x1 USB 3.0 card
550 power supply (disabled some stuff, so it's able to run and boot fine)

I alot of research to fix this, and nothing's worked. First, I set my SATA to IDE from the default, and nothing. I orginially had the RAM in the default slot that the manual said, but I changed it to the first slot because it wasn't doing anything. Come to find out that wasn't the problem. I set the DRAM to XMP (profile #1) in the ez-mode bios.

I changed around the SATA connections to make my main drive go into 1 and the second one into 2. There's nothing in the two white slots on the motherboard. It can boot into window's repair utility, but doesn't find anything wrong.
The BSOD message goes away too soon for me to read it.
I'm going to try and reload windows without formatting it, and see if that fixes it. Just in case it doesn't, I hope to get some advice from here to fix this.

Thanks,
Brian
