Hi,

I am going to upload a video and you will see what I mean. First, I started getting blue screens, and I thought it was the graphic card because I had the aticap.dll error, so I found drivers and installed in safe mode. No luck. Then I tried system restore, blue screen. So, I wanted to reinstall windows but that didn't happen since this time it booted up and there was nothing.

Download pc wizard and install (in my sig). Run it and go to FILE, SAVE AS and click OK. Copy the text out of that file into this thread.

Also post exactly the model and brand of your power supply unit.
 
Wait, how can I use pcwizard when I can't even boot windows? I can't even go into safe mode.

In the morning: Started running programs, then blue screen

Afternoon: Wanted to reinstall windows. Tried Backing up everything in safe mode, but it turned out to be too slow and tried to go into regular windows mode. From the errors I saw from BSOD, I reinstalled my graphic card drivers and it gave me less than normal looking screens.

Nightime: It just boots up the beginning part when you open your computer, but doesn't boot windows.

Should I change something in BIOS?

Take all non-essential hardware out. That means leave in, boot disk, 1 stick of RAM, cpu, and hard drive with windows only. If you have onboard graphics, then remove the graphics card as well. Boot into safemode with networking.
 
I still have the same problem. I took out the Graphic Card, and hooked up monitor to the motherboard vga. Took out one stick of ram, and left one inn there. I could launch the prompt window by pressing F8. But, anything after that it just gives me a blank screen. I had this error called ati3qua.dll when in BSOD and i thought it had something to do with my graphic card. So, i tried to find the latest drivers, and once i installed the latest drivers I had even more problems which lead to what you see in the video.
