I just put together a new system.
Intel 2600K and anASUS P8Z68-V PRO
I have built a lot of systems over the years and never seen a problem like this.
I had 2 HD, an ssd drive and a dvd drive in the unit.
I started off trying to install winders 7
Everything is sata drives and not trying to do raid.
I think what has me scared is this is the first time I have used a UEFI BIOS.

well got a stop error (blue screen)0x0000007B and it says Stop error including boot sector viruses and device driver issues or hardware issues.
So maybe its the ssd, unplug it and same thing. Pretty soon I have all of the drives unplugged but the dvd and getting this blue screen.
Now without having an os to install any drives that came with the board how the heck am I going to get this error fixed?

I also had BSOD on install with my ASRock. As stargazr mentions, I switched back from AHCI to IDE mode and had no problems afterwards. My board actually defaulted to IDE but I then enabled AHCI on purpose. Now I cannot boot with AHCI without BSOD and have an ASUS Maxiums IV board coming. I hate to hear you have similar issues on your ASUS. 🙁
 
When you set AHCI you have to load the drivers when prompted early in the install. If not you can set it after loading OS with a little registry hack, It's pretty easy.
 
That would explain it. Except I did try enabling it after the install, but it blue screened before fully booting. So I assume you have to perform the registry tweak before enabling AHCI in BIOS?
