And for future reference to all people who experience the instant reboot BSoD:
Mash the F8 key repeatedly until a black menu pops up.
Select: Disable automatic restart on system failure
Voila. :3
Topic: [1BTC] New computer BSOD (Read 1587 times)
As a side note, I moved a HDD from an AMD laptop to a Intel desktop, and W7 worked completely fine. Go figure. Glad you got it resolved.
Does an installed Linux cry at all if you move a HDD to a different system?
Depends, Linux plays nice with most hardware. I've done it plenty of times and have only experienced problems once, when moving a HDD from a PC with a tri-monitor dual radeon config to a single monitor Nvidia. I just got a black screen at boot. If I had installed Nvidia drivers & configured for one monitor I'm sure it would've been OK.
A live distro (such as the one I linked to above) shouldn't have any problems being moved to a different system.

I had the same problem with my setup. Strangely, it turned out to be my CPU.
Thats what we are about to try, this new mobo didnt have the same cd drive hookup as my old drive. We picked up a new one and we will see if that works.
New install of windows 7(dont have a cd drive so I had to install windows 7 on my other computer then install the HD into the new computer, Possible source of BSOD?)
What is the other system? I am 99% sure that is your issue right there.
How are the sata ports setup in the bios? AHCI? IDE? RAID?
and probably also a good way to convince Windows it's an unauthorized copy.

Start with Memtest86+. Run it a few hours and see what you get. If it always fails in the same spot, you have bad RAM. If it fails on the same columns at random rows, you probably have incorrect settings.
Corsair Vengeance is overclocker RAM, designed to be run at nonstandard voltages and speeds. Look up the exact model on Corsair's site and configure their recommended settings (especially voltage - it probably needs to be overvolted) into the BIOS.

What speed is the RAM? Have you tried other, slow DDR3 (You mentioned moving it around slots, but I'm not sure if this means "tried known to work sticks"). Have you also tried booting w/o the 560ti installed, and running off the integrated? (z77 supports that, I think).
There are methods to install w7 via USB drive. I've never had a problem moving my w7 HHDs around (probably not a good practice, but eh) but that might be part of it. Microsoft had an official tool to do it, but they had to take it down due to violating some OSS licenses.

Could this be a motherboard problem?
TBH it could be almost anything.
I would download a live linux distro and write it to a USB drive and see if it'll boot your PC.

If it doesn't boot it may give you a better indication as to why then just a BSOD.
Did you build this PC yourself? If so (and assuming it won't boot from USB) I would take it out of the case to make sure its not shorting off anything, and then try reinstalling the GPU, RAM, CPU etc and test with different components and see if you can troubleshoot your problem like that. Also get a friend to look over your build to make sure its OK, sometimes a friend can spot something obvious that you may have overlooked.
Just bought a new computer, and I get a blue screen of death right when the windows 7 logo loads. I cant read the error code because it restarts immediately. Specs:
Asrock Z77 Pro-3
evga 560TI
8gb corsair vengenance
650watt powersupply(works just fine on other computer)
2500k
What I have done so far.
Tried the ram in all other slots by it self and double
2 Different power supplies gives same problem
