Ryan, we have to get you to be able to boot into Windows. If you can't do that you are limited to a clean install. A repair install is done within windows. When you are able to boot into Windows how long is it before you BSOD?

It varies, on average BSOD occurs around 3-4 minutes in but it's also lasted over 30 minutes before.

I ran memtest last night and the first time I ran it there were a number of errors that came up in the first 3 minutes. I ran memtest a second time on accident (when I exited the first time the computer rebooted immediately from the cd again and started running so I just let it run). The second time it has currently been running for 12.5 hours, 45% done with pass 8 and still no errors. I managed to get images of the screens if they would help.

Ryan, number 1 Replace the ram. If you got errors, you have bad ram or bad dim slots. That may very well be your whole or Just a significant part of it. The ram you have, is not in your system specs. But, if you can RMA it, will take 3 weeks to 4 weeks at least usually. Sometimes they will do an advanced RMA if you give them a credit card number. The card won't be charged if they get the old ram back within the allotted tine, which is usually 30 dats

So weirdly enough the computer has been running fine the last two days. The second time I ran the memtest it had made 10 full passes and found 0 errors. Ever since then the computer has been working fine, no BSODs and I can shut it down and restart it right away. Not sure what happened but as long as it works I guess I won't question it. Thanks for all the help.
