Hi there, i`m posting on my brother`s behalf.

He has the following configuration :

Intel 2600k
16 GB 1600 MHz Corsair Ram
ASUS Maximus V Formula Mother board
Gainward GTX 460
PSU Corsair TX 650

The thing is , Windows 7/8 works just fine. But when ever he tries to install Windows 8.1 or upgrade to it from 8 the PC goes blue screen after the firs restart when the installation sets up devices.

He tried UEFI and Legacy install, both end up in BSOD when installing Windows 8.1.

Already tried BIOS defaults, and already has the latest BIOS from ASUS site, is the MB broken and should RMA it ?

Check Corsair's website for his r.a.m. and see what they have listed for the r.a.m. timings. Then check in the u.e.f.i. and make sure the proper timings are set, It could also be that he's putting a PCIe x16 2.0 video card into a PCIe x16 3.0 slot.That could be a compatibility issue. I'm unsure of this, as my pc is AMD based and PCIe x16 3.0 video cards will work in a PCIe x16 2.0 slot. However, it may not go both way's, as far as a PCIe x16 2.0 card working in a PCIe x16 3.0 slot.
