My PC doesn't work... Again

Hey thanks for stopping by. I'll start off by listing the specs of my PC:

Intel i7 3820

Asus Rampage IV Extreme

Msi gtx780 gaming edition

32 gb of corsair vengeance 1600

Wd blue 1tb

Wd enterprise 500 gb (salvaged lol)

Corsair RM850

Coesair h100i

And all that warped up nice and neat in an nzxt phantom 820.

Issues I've had:

---------------------

Original motherboard (msi one) died somehow, rma'd it. Received a broken one. Bought asus rampage: fixed

Gtx780 doa from msi. Rma'd: fixed

Current problems:

------------------------

No boot. PC will start to boot (shows asus rog logo and spiny win8 thing, as well as post code AA which means it posted) then goes black. About 2-5 mins later it will show a blue screen saying your PC has ran into a problem, we are gathering data then immediately restarts and says automatically repairing then goes black and nothing.

What I've tried:

--------------------

1) I have tested all ram separately including different ram

2) I have rma'd the motherboard

3) I have tested with an old video card

4) I have tried a different psu

5) I have tried removing drives, and booting from disc and from USB (has same issues)

Verdict:

----------

It obviously isn't the things above, so it all leads me to the CPU. Any input? Thanks!

Are you able to try and get and get a photo of the blue screen, because i'll be able to tell if its a hardware problem or just a system file failing to start.

It's not an actual bsod or anything. It just ahead a frowns face ( :( ) and it says your PC ran into a problem. It is too fast for me to take a pic

Alright try going into the BIOS and finding an option about Advanced Boot if you press F8 it might automatically bring you to it, but find an option to Disable Automatic Restart on Failure or something similar and it will give you the blue screen for longer.

I'll try that now

Hey Lucas Ault,
 
You could try running the whole build outside of the case to see in the case itself does not short out some of the parts (if it's scratched somewhere or something else). 
What happens if you leave it in the BIOS for a longer time without actually booting the OS? Do you get any errors? Where is the OS installed on (the WD Blue or the other WD drive)? What is the other WD drive's model? Have you ran checks on both drives?
If all that doesn't case the problem, I would also say it's the CPU.

If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^

Now I am getting another error (code fb). So I decided that I will rebuild my whole PC (and manage the cables better lol) and I'll report back after that. Thanks for the reply. Oh and no errors when sitting at bios.

Can you take a picture of the error code? Having no error while idling in BIOS makes me thing that there is either something wrong with the OS or some of the parts have problem working with the OS. Do try the complete rebuild and do a fresh install. I would recommend leaving it  for a while without installing any updates, driver or any software whatsoever to make sure the problem is not in the core of the OS.
Post a photo of the inside of the build once you are ready rebuilding it.

Boot problem, Get a Bootable USB/CD and boot into it and use windows 8 recovery, You can try Repair windows start up, refresh window settings, Or you may have to do a fresh install

Seen this a few times, sometimes really sloppy cable management can lead to shorting.

Did you manage to fix your problem using system recovery? If not I would recommend doing it and do a full system stress test to see if it's leaking from somewhere.
