hello, the last week my pc keeps either freezing to the point that needs a restart and when it does start up most of the time it says "no video input" and needs a couple restarts more to get going. It also some times just restarts on its own or i get a blue screen that says "remove newly installed software or hardware". Please note that it does not AT ALL does all of the above when in safe mode and that i format my windows 3 days ago but the problems still occured. Also, this stuff ALL happens at the first 5-10 minutes after my pc starts up. If they don't occure up until this point, they don't happen at all ( even if i got the pc on like 8-9 hours). I also run the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool but no errors were found. I highly suspect it's my graphics card (Nvidia Gefore Gt 430).
 
Can you list your hardware? What OS are you running? By "format windows," do you mean you reinstalled it?

Off the top of my head, I smell a power or heat problem with either the power supply or the video card. If your CPU and board have built-in graphics, try running the system with the video card removed.
