I'm going to give as many details as possible about this endeavor.
So Thursday 8-28 My computer was working completely fine. I turned it off that morning and went out. When I returned later that day roughly 12 hours later. I sat down and it was on and the screen was glitching at the starting windows screen. So i rebooted. Selected run start up repair. It loaded past windows is loading files then sat at a black screen and froze.
Rebooted and tried again. This time met with a BSOD.
I turned it off along with the power supply and figured I'd tackle this Friday morn.
Woke up Friday booted up got all the way to login. Logged in and as windows was loading...glitch, crash and reboot.
Continued the reboot and run startup repair... same results ending with a BSOD.
I then put my hd in my external enclosure to grab any art files I needed and put it back. Made a windows bootable using my laptop. Switched the boot order in my bios. But low and behold it loaded to windows is loading files, and froze as the windows flag was swooping in.
Shut down until Saturday.
At this point I figured it was a hardware issue and not a software one.
Made sure all my components were seated properly. Then got a windows 7 cd from a neighbor and set my bios to boot cd/dvd first.
Same as the usb it wouldn't boot. but this time when it rebooted and i loaded run startup repair. I was able to get to the repair options. Ran memory diagnostic let it do 10 passes. Then loaded last working config which took me to 8-25. It booted. Logged in. I installed avast anti virus to make sure and let it do a full system. Nothing. Everything was fine.
At the end of the day I rebooted to make sure everything was fine...Back to square one.
I'm at wits end. Ive checked both 4gig PC3 ram sticks. both work.
Searched these and multiple other forums religiously and found many solutions but none worked.
Switched HD's same results so it cant be a hd issue.
tried to boot several times normally and from cd/ or usb.
It's now Monday and I have graphic design orders backing up.
Please help guys.
