New windows install unmountable_boot_drive

[Austo]

Hey there I had a topic similar to this a while ago, though at that time i was not in the place of where this computer is. Now i am and have a clear view on thr problem and the means to hopefully fix it.

 

So heres the deal, the computer would not boot to windows so i did a completely fresh install using a new usb. install went smoothly and i installed all the needed drivers. I restarted the pc and got a blue screen error saying "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_DRIVE". Where do i go from here? 

 

Spec: 

• Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 [2nd newest part less than a year old]

• AMD Black Edition FX‑6300 3.5 GHz 6‑Core 

• Crucial ballistix 8gb ddr3 Ram

• Nvidia gtx 660 2gb

• Corsair CX500M PSU

• WD 1tb 7200 rpm sata III 64MB Cache HDD [practically brand new]

• BIOS version 2501

i dont want to say its 100% fixed yet but just to try something i removed a ramstick and reinstalled and havent had any problems yet.. is it possible for a ram stick to somehow corrupt windows?
