BSOD was the result of a bad stick of RAM. Newegg RMA'd that RAM. I lucked out and scored a set of G. Skill CL7 for $69 on one of those Newegg 3 hour killer deal sales! It's sitting at home waiting to be...

Putumayo created a new topic Blue Screen, new build, $550 BudgetCore varriation in the forums.So I assembled all the parts for the $550 Budget Core machine, with a few substitutions (marked with * below), loaded Win 7, but when i try to update windows, I get blue screens. After a several hours of dealing with it, it was locked in a boot>BSOD>shutdown loop, so I pulled the HDD, erased partitions and reformatted it.
