Hi,

It seems like there might be something physically wrong with the hard drive or RAM.I would recommend running Dell Diagnostics. In order to run Dell Diagnostics from Hard Drive, follow the mentioned steps:
Restart your computer. When the DELL™ logo appears, tap <F12> immediately. In the boot device list, highlight Boot to Utility Partition and press <Enter>. Under Dell Diagnostics Main Menu (see Dell Diagnostics Main Menu), select the extended test. If you get any error code, make a note of the error code.

You can even follow the below mentioned steps:
· Disable any security software before attempting to upgrade or do a clean install.
· Make sure your computer is updated (devices and applications)
· Disconnect any external devices before installing.
· Check your hard disk for any errors:
· Click Start
· Type: CMD, from the results, right click CMD
· Click 'Run as Administrator'
· At the Command Prompt, type: chkdsk /r
· When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and attempts will be made to correct them.

In case you are able to boot your system in windows, then I would recommend running “Oxc0000005 Repair Tool” from the URL mentioned: http://www.helpcomp.com/help/pc/c-0xc0000005.php?keyword=www.sevenforums.com&c4=12241294599&w=a15&c1=0xc0000005

Kindly revert and let us know the status.
