Ok so i got this PC fom a friend and he's been having problems with it for the past months where it would freeze at the windows start screen, but he would restart the pc a few times and it would eventually boot up and run just fine, no random restarts or anything. Untill a few days ago when it stopped working, now it just hangs at loading screen. So the basic problem is this:
No matter what kind of windows i try to install or run on it it hangs at windows loading screen and on instalation screen (at the part after the windows files are loaded and it says starting windows).
I ran safemode and it hangs when it is trying to load "classpnp.sys".
=====================================================
Things i tried:
-pulled out the HDD (SATA), intalled it on my other pc, formated it and put a fresh install of windows 7 x64 on it and put it back in, it still hangs;
-updated BIOS to lastest version, still hangs;
-tested the PC with one memory card(RAM) at a time, still hangs;
-tried different HDDs(SATA) on it, one with windows 7 x64 and one with windows xp 32bit, still hangs on both on boot up and windows install;
-googled the problem for the last few days and nothing worked
-disabled CD-ROM drive, no change
-disabled USB from BIOS, no change
=====================================================
After i updated BIOS i was able to go intro system repair menu and i tried stratup repair and system restore, they didn't work.
Also my BIOS has 3 presets :
- BIOS defaults
-Performance Setup Default (IDE/SATA)
-Power saving setup default
I am able to load system repair menu only in the performance setup defaults, in the BIOS defaults preset it hangs when it loads it, i have not tried the power saving preset.
=====================================================

Any help would be apreciated, this pc is a massive upgrade over my current one if i can fix it
The problems seem to to have started when he upgraded the pc and got new motherboard, power source and cpu
