Hard drive(s):
Pick one for your HDD brand or use Seatools.

RAM (memory):
This will require memtest on a bootable CD or USB stick.
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
SFC /SCANNOW : Run in Command Prompt at Boot
This may help, run the steps outlined in this tutorial, Option Two, and reboot the system:
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
If that doesn't correct the issue, run it two or more times with a reboot between.
You may get this result:
Or a message that no integrity violations were found.Code:Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log The system file repair changes will take effect after the next reboot.
Or that Windows Resource Protection found errors it cannot repair, if so rerun the steps above.
All I get with the sfc is there is a system repair pendin which requires a reboot to complete, restart windows and run it again how do I restart windows if all I get is a black screen before login?
Test your HD using Maker's HD Diagnostics extended CD scan Britton provided, followed by Disk Check from installer Command Line.
I would also want to make sure I had followed the Best Practices for Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 after wiping the HD using Diskpart Clean Command also from installer's Command Line.
I would also boot into HP Boot menu by tapping ESC key at boot to see if there are onboard HD diagnostics for your model.
I can get into safe mode so there is some hope left
My hars drives and everything seem to be working fine
OK so here is what I did, I booted into safe mode and uninstalled my video drivers which I think caused the issue now I'm in the process of running win update I keep you updated on what's going on
OK, the pending repair may have something to do with the issues. Try the other suggestions though.
Try the repairs from the Win7 DVD or System Repair CD System Recovery Options
OK everything is successfully working it turns out it was a bad video driver thanks to windows update. My system is back up and running normally .
