I was changing my MSE settings and it asked me to restart, but when I did I found that my computer crashed before it was able to boot.

Now it crashes every time it tries to boot right before it gets to the login screen at the Windows logo and then restarts.

I've tried using Windows RE, but it does not respond to keyboard or mouse input. I also tried booting from the Windows 7 CD to reinstall the OS, but with similar results.

I cannot get any farther than the first screen because it does no respond to any input. I am unable to access the advanced boot options screen with F8.

Sometimes during the startup process I am able to get to the BIOS options, but sometimes it does not respond to keyboard input even then.

I tested the RAM with Memtest and it said that it was working with no errors.

I am using Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium with a standard keyboard and mouse. Can anyone help me with this?

[strike]That's just a bit over what I have. Should I take out a GPU to see if that's the problem?[/strike] EDIT: ninja'd lol

I only disconnected one card. Does the power required differ per card? I though they used the same amount of power.
