Last March I was so excited for my first build, researched the hell out of it, made sure to order quality parts that were all compatible and well reviewed.
Between then and now I had to RMA my hard drive, RMA my motherboard, install Windows 7 more then 10 times, lose patience and take my rig into a computer business that charged me $40 to click "Windows Update" and wanted me to buy new components from them instead of RMAing my current ones, as if I have hundreds of extra dollars to flush down the ****ter.
My computer is functioning, but poorly. I have to underclock the shaders to run a game. Very frequently all programs will crash on startup until I reboot. I get "Bad Pool Header" blue screens. Windows memory diagnostic detects problems with either my RAM or motherboard. I'm RMAing my video card, the fourth component to be returned, but I doubt that will solve everything.
Any advice, aside from never building a PC again?

Corsair TX750
