Ok so this could be an issue with RAM or with your GPUs drivers. I would recommend taking your GPU out and seeing if it will boot without it. If it does then it's a driver error so just re install your GPU drivers. If it doesn't boot then it could be your RAM. How much RAM does your PC have and have you recently gotten and installed any new RAM into your PC?
