ASRock Extreme3 Gen3 Mobo issue with windows 7 home premium OEM

Hello, I've recently built a new system including this motherboard and have encountered a problem when trying to install windows 7 home premium OEM. Whenever I try to install it, it hangs on Windows is Loading files with a full grey bar. I'm sure it isn't my disc, or optical drive because I've tested it by copying over to a USB drive on another PC and it has the same issues. I'm convinced theres some BIOS setting I haven't tried thats interfering with the windows 7 installation. My specs are as follows
Motherboard : Extreme3 Gen3
CPU: i5 2500k
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD 6950 (Factory overclocked to 870 from 800 Mhz core clock)
RAM:Corsair Vengeance 4x4 GB DDR 1600
PSU: Coolermaster gold 1000w
SSD: OCZ Agility 3

The only possible confliction of hardware I can tell from the motherboard info is the RAM since its not listed on the motherboard's compatible memory list from asrock's website but I can load into their UEFI fine and it shows all 16 gigabytes as loaded in dual interface mode. I've been testing a ridiculous amount of bios settings and have tried installing XP from my old CD and that BSOD'd when it tried to start loading windows (After all the other random loads on the blue screen). I've had the same issue even when I disconnect the power cables from my GPU and load onboard graphics and disconnect the SSD which leads me to believe it can't be anything but the motherboard itself or some BIOS settings. Help would be appreciated >
