BSOD at boot up after windows logo.

RTTH

Everytime I boot up the PC locks itself into a cycle and will show up a BSOD soon after the windows logo appears, it then shuts itself down automaticall and repeats the cycle again. I checked the HDD and it is fine. Any suggestions?

It flicks through the BSOD so fast it dosn't give me any chance to read it.

this is an example of a bsod. DRIVE_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL where this message appears should be the error you want to grab. You shouldn't have to read the whole screen just get this one if you can.

Any new hardware or software installed?

Do a memtest (sometimes on the boot menu else try ultimate boot cd or something similar) Try windows install cd and do a repair. Failing that take out all the cards and all but one memory stick and see if it works. these things can fail randomly and prevent bootup
