I recently built a new PC. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Installed all of the proper drivers that came with the motherboard as well as the latest Nvidia drivers. About 5 days after I built the PC and installed everything, I was playing Skyrim as usual and I get a blue screen of death. It does a physical memory dump. I powered down my computer, rebooted it back up expecting it to just be some stupid windows glitch. However, now whenever I go to load Windows it get's stuck on the "Starting Windows" screen with no round window image above the text at all. I tried to load it into repair mode and it would quickly display "Windows Loading Files" and load out the bar all the way then freeze. I let it sit for about an hour and it still did not load, so I rebooted and tried again with no luck.
I tried to boot it into safe mode, and it got stuck on disk.sys. I tried the recovery mode that was on the disc and it did the same "Windows Loading Files" issue and never went anywhere. At this point, I thought it was a hardware issue so I went into my BIOS and loaded the optimized defaults. Still nothing, so I disconnected all of my USB devices and anything not necessary except my USB keyboard and still had the same issue. I have no idea why this happened, I am thinking faulty hardware or BIOS setting. Not really sure where to start. Google produced a bunch of results similar to my problem with no solution or something completely irrelevant to my problem. I am currently on my old laptop.
If you could help me out, that would be much appreciated.
Specs:
-MSI P67-G43 Motherboard
-Intel i7 2600k Processor
-Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz 16GB (4x4GB)
-PNY GTX 560ti OC2
-Patriot TORQX 64GB SSD Drive (Operating System hardrive)
-Seagate Barracuda 1TB Hard Drive
-Thermaltake 600W TR2 Power Supply
-Windows Ultimate x64 w/ SP1
Misc:
-1 Asus VE238H 24" LED Monitor
-1 HP w2338h 23" LCD Monitor
-Zalman Cooler
EDIT: It will not even let me into Windows Setup to format the hard drive and do a fresh install. (Get's stuck at "Windows Loading Files")
