myridien Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 All,I have a custom built desktop that my friend and I built about 3 months ago. One day, it would not startup (It would just get stuck on the windows loading screen). I tried startup repair, using a LiveCD to fix any registry errors with no avail. So, I decided to reinstall the system all together. I deleted ALL existing partitions on my hard drive. The install seemed to be successful until the very last steps where windows is "setting up your computer for first time use" (or something like that). It then restarts and the screen flashes blue with white text aka the blue screen of death. I can't read it because it goes by to fast. It then goes to the advanced boot screen where it asks me to restart and do a repair. I can choose "safe mode" but that just causes it to repeat the cycle again. Repair just tells me that windows cannot automatically repair. At this point, I'm beginning to think its a hardware problem but seeing as I JUST bought and put this thing together, I really hope its not. Anyone have other solutions?Thanks.

Any newly added software or hardware that may correspond chronologically with the beginning of these BSOSs? What do you think causes the BSODs?Is there verified Windows install media laying about?
