New Build Multiple Problems
I just built myself a new cpu not only a week ago and it has been giving me nothing but problems. I keep getting random freezes and distortions of the screen and multiple blue screens and even the cpu just going blank for no reason without shutting down. I'm losing my patience and I would like some input as to why this could be happening.

CPU specs:

MB: Tseries Biostar TA890GXB HD
Processor: AMD Phenom II Black Edition Multi-Core 6 Cores 3.3GHz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB
Power Supply: Ultra Professional LSP 750 watt peak ATX
HeatSink: Ultra Carbon X7 Multi-Socket CPU cooler 1,6 LBs
HardDrive: Sata 1TB Seagate

BIOS Errors:

CMOS Checksum Bad

Some of the blue screens have been:

irql_not_less_or_equal
Bad_pool_caller

The CPU will also sometimes on start up do nothing but power on.

If anyone can help even a little please respond.

[UPDATE]
Bios Screen now freezes

The first thing you need to do is fix the CMOS Checksum error. To do that locate the CMOS reset jumper (it is next to two pushbutton switches near the 24 pin power connector). With the computer powered off, move the CMOS reset jumper over so it is connected to the middle pin and pin that is empty now. Wait about 10 seconds and move it back to the original position.

If you continue to have errors, try re-seating the RAM modules. If that doesn't work, try testing the RAM using Memtest86+ http://memtest.org/

Okay so I just went through a check and everything seem to be running fine but for some reason the system just can stay functional, RAM and Processor and MoBo were all tested at store and were seen working fine. Also bought a new graphics card thinking my old one could be the problem but no the system starts up but eventually just crashes and wont do anything proper. Someone said it could be the power supply or the hardrive but the computer powers up, so it can only be the harddrive but idk how that could cause all these problems.
