New build with BSODs

[Weatherdude18]

Alright, so I started building my PC in late august, so it's probably too late to return any parts, I’ve been busy with high school. But here is what is happening, part list is listed below. When I first turned it on, the BIOS appeared to work fine. I then tried booting windows from a USB stick. I was met with a bluescreen. The error message said “PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA” I looked up the error, to see what could be the problem. It looked like it might of been faulty drivers or bad RAM. I tried booting with no GPU, that did not help. I was tired and packed the PC away. 

The next day I ran Memtest 86, the test came up with no errors present. 

 

I came back to it on memorial weekend, where a friend tried to help me. We tried using his USB stick to boot from, that did not work either. I went to Best Buy to buy new RAM, to see if that would change anything. Of course, this did not work. I then returned it back to Best Buy the following weekend. 

 

Later I ordered a new SSD to see if that would help, because I found a “support list” for the Motherboard. It looked like the RAM and SSD were not ‘supported’. And of course, this did not help. 

 

Recently I ordered a new motherboard, and got a new USB stick. This time I was able to install windows onto the SSD. The trouble came back when I tried to boot from the SSD to finish the install and set up windows. The same error came up again. I really do not know what to do. Do you guys know?

So you can't get into Windows after installation ?  The PSU should be more then enough.  Usually that error means ad CPU or RAM.  Or perhaps the PSU is bunk and what not.

When it displays "setting up" is when it would sometimes blue screen, one time I got as far as "Choose your area/location" or what ever it said. I then have to reinstall windows on the SSD, because it kinda corrupts the last install. Hopefully this doesn't mess with the windows key i have to put in every time. Quick question, does the CPU 4 pin power cord next to the 8 pin power cord have to be plugged in? The PSU did not come with one

Yes it must be plugged in to your last question.  Try one stick of RAM at a time see if that helps!

Like I said, unfortunately the PSU did not seem to come with a 4 pin power cord, only the 8 pin.

But I will try one RAM stick once I get home from school, but what if I want to use the second stick, do I need the 4 pin power cord? 

What if I want to upgrade to an i5 in the future?

Alright, so I tried one stick of RAM. When I booted from the USB, it blue screened twice, with the PAGE FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA error again. I then was able to install windows on the third attempt. When I booted from the SSD, i got a blue screen saying CRITICAL PROCESS DIED. I do not know if I want to buy a new PSU, because I don't know if that would help. I'm getting tired of the PC not working, so I might just see if I can sell the parts and buy a pre-built one.
