Hi my friend here bought his pc and he is having a problem with the pc as it just shows the windows logo (the balls are lagging) and then just restart.

Things I've tried.
*Switching the rams and using different ram slots.
*Tested his HDD a WDC Blue 500gb on my system and it works wonders and opens up nicely
*Changing tim on the HSF after cleaning it out.
*Startup Repair (It ask us to send or not to send).

Things yet to try.
*Using a different PSU.
*Bios update.
*Format and a full install of his Windows 7 Home Premium (which I don't think is needed since it works nicely on my pc).

Currently Trying.
*System Restore.

I would like to try to check with memtest and other test programs but it won't even boot in safe mode which it just shows those C: and then restarts just like running it in normal mode.

I hope you guys could help us out. I've been here for quite a while and I do believe that asking here is the right choice.

Update:
*System Restore didn't work.
*When Opening it. It shows System Recovery Error.

Note: currently I don't have a 1156 socket cpu available in my vicinity right now sadly.
