Hardware failure message after upgrading computer..
I just upgraded on my XPS 8300 motherboard from a Dell 0y2mgr to an Asrock Z77 EXTREME4-M. I have listed below specs in there. I've taken it apart and put it back together many times now because I get a blue screen saying hardware failure. The longest I got it to turn on for was about 10 minutes, after I installed windows. I'm not quite sure what's going on.
- Asrock Z77 EXTREME4-M (Motherboard)
- Intel i5-3570k CPU
- Thermaltake 850W modular power supply
- 4 sticks, 4gb sticks of RAM. (Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1866 MHz)
- Nvidia GTX 660 Ti graphics card
I have been slowly upgrading the internal components over the years so at this point the only original part is the case.
Any suggestion on what’s going on.
Thanks in advance.

Well its essentially not a Dell system anymore... but a custom build. The ASRock BIOS should contain preboot diagnostics.
