Custom Built Computer Keeps crashing?

Question

I built a computer yesterday and all that it's done is I keep getting Blue Screen Of Death, every time I try and load Chrome for example I just get an error.
I try and install a game like Flight Simulator X but I just get Blue Screen Of Death.

I have installed all the drivers and such.

I am using a M4A77T Motherboard.
AMD II X4 Phenom 3.3GHz CPU
750W PSU
8GB DDR3 RAM.

Does anyone know what is wrong?

Thanks.

Maybe you got a bad hard drive--sometimes they come out of the box broken. Try another hard drive if you have a spare and see how it goes.

If you are sure that you put it all together right (you sound like you did, its kind of hard not to).
And you're sure its all compatible (you say it is)
then the only thing left is a faulty piece of hardware.

How did you install windows without a problem though?

Are you doing any overclocking?  If you are, undo it and run it stock.  Are you sure the specs for the RAM line up with the configuration in the BIOS?  Do you have all the drivers loaded?  Are you monitoring heat with an application (recommend RealTemp)?  You did put the thermal paste on the cpu before installing the cpu heatsink, right?

you pick to reveal screen the temps of both the CPU and GPU. I used Coretemp for the CPU and the EVGA Precision device for the GPU. The max temps variety between which form of CPU this is. quite somewhat any CPU will close down or throttle again round 90c and over. in case you may run the computer in secure mode then more advantageous than in all threat this is a driver or a software challenge.
