Ok so I have been having this problem for about a week now. When I start up my computer it automatically goes to the blue screen and then restarts and goes back into the blue screen and so on. I cannot access my computer at all( not even in safe mode). I have tried tons of things that people have suggested on the internet and nothing so far has worked.

It has the BSOD code of 0x50
I have tested all the equipment like the RAM, GPUs, etc and nothing seems to be broken so at this point I think it is something that corrupted on my hard drive so I am thinking I need to wipe it and reinstall everything. Only problem is I got the OEM version of windows so I think I am going to have to buy it again. One last thing, if anyone has a better suggestion about what I should do please let me know and if anyone knows what would be the best program to use to wipe it I would like to know. Any help is appreciated but please take note as to what I have already done( like don't comment and tell me to "test your RAM because it might be broken" because like I said above I have already done).

What have you actually done to try and fix it? It's hard to make suggestions when you say you've tried loads of things people have suggested but you don't say what....

However, firstly unplug all external devices bar keyboard, monitor and mouse - any improvement?

Next, take out the hard drive and plug it into another computer (phone a friend if need be) that has up-to-date reputable antivirus and anitmalware installed and running (bitdefender and Malwarebytes, for example) and run a full scan on your drive - if it comes up with anything, that could be your probelm. And then put it back in your computer and try and boot

You might also tell us your hardware spec, how old the machine is etc

I have taken both GPUs, my RAM, and my HDD and tested to make sure they all work. I tested them on a different computer. No unplugging everything did not do anything. Is there a program that you suggest that I can use to scan the HDD for corrupt data?

CPU: Amd Fx-8350
MOBO: Asus M5a99fx pro r2.0
RAM: 8gb Corsair Vengeance
Graphics: 2x EVGA GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 edition.
HDD: 128 gb Samsung 840 Pro SSD, 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black Mechanical Drive

The build is just over a year old.

wait, before you wipe your system
boot off of a windows CD and
delete this file:
c:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT
and reboot.

Microsoft put out a update to block some malware and they had a issue with the update a pulled it.
You don't actually get the problem until the first time you reboot after you install the update.
Some systems are just hitting this because they go to sleep rather than reboot. (the bad update was last month)
