Sorry it is so long. Wanted to be thorough I guess!
Hello. I have recently run into a problem with my usually wonderful PC, and it's making me go mad as most computer problems tend to do. If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it.
So here's the deal. The other day, I was playing Saints Row 3 with my friend and my computer got the blue error screen, which freaked me out because when I first got my PC 8-10 months ago, it would always blue screen after a little to a long while of playing a game, although it eventually stopped. I restarted my computer, and there seemed to be no problems, so I ignored it. However, last night, I was playing Grand Theft Auto IV with my friends (I don't know if the game is what matters but I figured I should mention them), and I got a message saying the game had run out of memory right before I got another blue screen, which sent me into a panic, and I didn't get the error code in time. I tried to restart the computer, and for a while I didn't get anything to come up other than a few glitchy lines at the top of the screen. After unplugging everything and replugging it all, I was able to get the windows menu to come up, which said I could either start Windows normally or Launch Startup Repair. When trying to start Windows, it rebooted and brought me to the exact same screen again. When I did the startup repair, I could not figure out what to do (my operating system was not shown, and I had no idea what Load Drivers meant). I tried booting off of my Windows disc like some people had suggested, but it just gave me the same repair options. I had not recently altered my computer or OS in any significant way, at least to my knowledge, and all my hardware is relatively new at under a year old. Can anyone give me some help? I'm starting to lose my mind...

I took the computer in to the shop and days later the guy contacted me and said he couldn't get windows to start at all, and that I pretty much needed to re-install Windows, and so that is what I did. Unfortunately, I am STILL experiencing problems, and I plan to make a new thread right after posting this reply. Thanks so much for all the help, it really did make me feel better about the whole dang situation. Keep up the great work!
