Is there a trick to install Windows? Z77-DS3H with F3 bios

Hi, all.
I am completely lost here. I used ASUS m/b w/AMD for a while, and now switched to Intel and GA board.
As i wanted to start fresh, I popped in my Windows 7 64bit DVD and booted, selected AHCI in bios, started with DVD, then it gets stuck at Starting Windows!  >:(

When I tried with ether combination, it would throw me IQRL or something not same with blue screen of death!  I googled that it may be memory issue, so as I have 4 X 2GB memory, I took two out to see if it makes any difference and it's the same.

Also I notice, there is new one called UEFT, and P2, P3 when I press F12 to choose medium to boot.....I guess I have been away for a while as this are new to me.

Is there a new trick to install?

Please help.

Yes, disable the Advanced CPU C3/C6 states from bios.
