PC restarts at Welcome screen
Hello,
I've recently been experiencing some issues with my PC. It restarts when I get to the windows welcome screen right before the desktop should appear. The whole story is like this: I dust cleaned my PC a couple of days ago, cleaned every separate card and fan put everything back together(I know I didn't apply a new layer of thermal paste but that wasn't a real problem since I'm not overclocking and my temperatures where around 30°C=86 F when it restarted so it couldn't have been overheating) and my computer began restarting all of a sudden when I was doing random stuff. This happened several times a day everyday before it went stable and the next day it would happen all over again.
I decided to check in the BIOS and loaded the "fail-safe" default settings(the most stable settings for the motherboard). Now it restarted even more over and over again and now I can't even get it to load windows. I ran the windows recovery thing for errors it keeps restarting and restarting, I ran the last known good config, nothing. I managed to get in safe mode but it restarts after while there too. I'm really confused now, I don't know if it's a hardware problem or software? Any help would be appreciated.
System Specs:
CPU:AMD Athlon II x3 450 3200Mhz
MOBO:Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev. 1.0)
RAM:Corsair Vengeance 4x4GB DDR3

Thanks
