Certain games crashing on custom PC build (BSOD)

Ok, I havn't gotten to do the HD reformat yet, however I've been playing games that crash if I crank the graphic settings up. only on that game seeing as I can still play skyrim without any problems on ultra...

Any ideas?

Ok, tried to reformat the HD. Windows 7 home premium would NOT install under any other format than Native IDE or w/e the thing is.
Also, the random crashes after being idle for a few min have not stopped. Already crashed so the fresh install did nothing.
Reinstalling basic drivers again....

What is the deal? =C

I think it's time to replace the motherboard

But I just got the thing!
=C
is here any way to test to be sure it's the motherboard?

Is it under warranty?

I'll have to check, I didnt get any extended warranty, so I figure it had/has a standard 30 day warranty that has expired.

Gigabyte boards should have a 3-year warranty. Did someone other than you build this PC?

No, I built it. I did my review in newegg and they sent me a customer support number and I sent them the email yesterday.
Hopefully they will identify the issue as a motherboard issue aswell.
Side note: A few people on newegg who also ordered this board have started posting in the last month that they are having similar issues so hopefully I can get my hands on a new one soon enough.

Okay, good. I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H. Intel, I don't do AMD

They are offering to RMA.
I really do hope this will work.
Though I will be over a week without a motherboard =P

No change.... still cant work as raid.
when trying to install with RAID format it claims I need a driver for my DVD optical drive.
Same thing for ACHI format.
But when I try to put it anything with this "Driver" that is only required for this apparently and not for normal install it doesn't show up.
Yes, to clarify, during windows install when it reads the iso file off the disk, it claims it needs a driver half way in.
So I'm back in Native IDE again, and windows updates aren't installing properly, and the computer keeps trying to do disk checks, and programs aren't stable and crash after a while....
(is getting very frustrated).

With a new motherboard?? You set the bios to RAID or AHCI before installing Windows fresh right?

Yes, here is a brief summation of what I've tried recently.
Got motherboard back, put it all together and tried installing via Raid.
Went by the motherboard manual on this, got suck in early installation for it required "drivers" for the optical drive.
Same when trying to install AHCI format. When I found something that looked like the driver and plugged it in via USB it wasn't recognized. Also tried using the motherboard drivers disk to see if it had anything but no luck.
So now I'm back in native IDE which didn't require me to install drivers mid-installation, I'm using my 500G and 1TB harddrive but everything is on my 500g ATM because I thought I might have a faulty 1TB HDD, but this isnt the case since I was using my 500g in my spare computer and had absolutely zero trouble for the weeks my Motherboard was out.
Then I thought, "Maybe I have a bad installation copy of windows", so I tried installing using another disk. No change.
Then I tried using an external optical drive with both the original, no change their ether. It always seems like tech issues happen to me (sigh).

So you are using an external USB optical drive to install Windows, and the motherboard will not detect it?

I tried both, when installing I was using my internal optical drive for every configuration, but then it started asking for drivers, so then I tried my external one, same issue.
Edit: I also tried putting in my motherboard driver disk, but once it's in, the computer doesn't detect the disk.... redundancy problem.

This doesn't make any sense at all Set the bios to the defaults except set the SATA controller to AHCI. Make sure the hard drives and internal optical drives are detected properly in the bios boot menu. Set the internal optical drive as the first boot device and place the Windows install disc in the optical drive.Turn off the computer, and start it up. The Windows install should begin. There is NEVER any need to install any motherboard or device drivers at this point, with newer motherboards

I know it doesn't make any sense.
I'm using it in native to do browsing and online homework.
programs crashing randomly as always, just as in the original errors...
FML, 16GB RAM and I'm stuck using browsers...

So I think I fixed it.
During RAID installation, it requires a driver, but the driver is required to operate the optical drive.
So I used my USB CD drive to circumvent it, then installed the motherboard sata controller drivers during the installation process aswell via the external optical drive.
I'm currently posting this from my RAID formatted comp.
I think this should fix everything, hopefully all the other errors were due to the driver missing. That'd be convenient.

Also 2 of my memory sticks were really really really really really bad.
Apparently I didnt run the test properly last time.

Thanks for the update and good work on solving the problem
