Sup guys, I have Windows 7 Ultimate running on an AMD Phenom II X6, 8GB RAM, NVidia GeForce 8 series. My system was running fine yesterday until the screen went black. When I rebooted the system I noticed the video on the system boot screen was messed up (vertical lines running through the screen, but then it clears up. When Windows 7 starts to load the colors also look messed up, and then a blue screen of death pops up everytime. The screen only lasts a few seconds and then automatically restarts. I was able to get into safe mode networking mode and get this message.

I have tried repairing, restoring, starting in 640 video mode (because I thought it might be a video issue), and also ran a memory diagnostics test. I have also tried uninstalling recent software and reseating all the hardware devices, but to no avail. Anyone have any issues like this? Help would be appreciated!
 


Set the bios to boot the DVD first
Insert the windows 7 disk and select UPGRADE
This will reload the default OS, but it will not erase your personal files.
DUMP usually occurs when you have loaded a driver that is incompatible with the computer...
UPGRADE will restore the default drivers....

I only have the option to install or repair, but I even tried formatting and when it restarts after step 2 I get the same error message. If it was a Windows problem then why does my screen look out of whack when I first turn on, before windows even loads up? Could it be a BIOS issue? I can't even upgrade because I can't download in safe mode nor will it detect the DVD drive in that mode.

Sorry, I actually was able to get into the upgrade options, but I get this message. "The computer started using the Windows installation disc. Remove the installation disc and restart your computer so that Windows starts normally. Then, insert the installation disc and restart the upgrade.
