brand new computer i just built, has random restarts, blue screens, and slow times to access hard drive.

sometimes random games after installed get corrupt.

everything is brand new from newegg, and i replaced the hard drive. for another brand new one, tried reinstalling the OS same thing.

the computer says i dont have a legit copy of windows 7 64 bit, which i do, and when i enter the key it says its already in use. like its getting corrupt on the hard drive

any ideas guys?

thanks so much for any advice or help

I would pull everything out of the case and start over, making 200% sure you don't have any extra standoffs in the case. Did you use TIM? Is your PSU sized right?

Give us brand and model numbers.

i dont know what u mean by standoffs sorry and i have tried removing all the devices, same things, yes i used artic silver glue, and yes my PSU is sized correctly

thank you for the fast reply

standoffs = The motherboard is mounted to the case/enclosure with these. They "stand" the circuit board (motherboard) away from the enclosure. They are about 1/4" long.

yes theres about 8, what about them?

You asked; "i dont know what u mean by standoffs" They "stand the board off" of the enclosure.

Digerati will take care of you. He'll be along soon. I just jumped in to inform you what standoffs were.
