For some reason my computer is deciding to be really annoying to me, it's deciding that it doesn't want to boot into Windows properly, basically it comes up with a blank screen and does nothing.

I can get it to boot into Windows in safe mode, but that's all.

I have been thinking that it could either be the ram or the psu that's causing problems, but I wasn't sure so that's why this thread is in general hardware :)

My specs are:

i7 920 @ stock
Evga x58 sli le motherboard
I've tried two sets of ram, my main ram that I've used with it is an ocz reaper 1600 6gb kit and the other set is some corsair dominator dual channel stuff that I just wanted to see if it worked.
Sapphire r9 290x tri x
My psu is a be quiet 630w iirc

Can anyone help me? Also I may have a little problem in the fact that I have no internet to download memtest :/
 
Safe mode being ok would indicate a possible software issue. Try a system restore.

If you have added some new hardware then check your drivers are up to date.
 
Have you added anything new to your computer ?

The newest part (if you don't count the ram swap) is my 290x , although I have played games on my pc since I got it, so I didn't think it was that :/

I'm not sure if the drivers are up to date, but I can't really do much software wise until at least Monday :(
 
So I tried a reinstall of windows earlier, and all was going fine until I got to about 70%, then my pc decided to present me with a blank screen and no display at all, so I tried restarting it and now it won't even go to the bios :(

also I checked the ram with memtest, and all seems fine with my normal ocz reaper set :)
