Hi, My computer seems to be fracked. Everything was fine, then suddenly the system just comletely froze. Couldn't move mouse or do anything.

Turned off pc by holding in power button, and since then i keep getting a constantly BSOD when windows tries to loads. At rare occasions it got passed the windows loading bar only to either give me a black screen with my mouse cursor. Or giving me a error box saying winlogin.exe failed to load.

99% of the time it won't even get that far. Safe mode is greeted with more BSODs and even when i try and loads the windows disk to do a repair is BSOD just as the loading bar finishes. I've tried removing some ram and nothing.

I've tried another hdd just to be greated by the same thing.

Strangely while i was working in the pc I noticed a lot of heat near my 8800GTX, i touched off of it and the metal acutally burnt me. I don't know if a hot gfx card can caue this but i seriously hope not.

Any help on the subject would be greatly appriciated.
 
Is the 8800GTX fan spinning? I to hot graphics card can cause BSOD's I think, a mate had similar problem as you have and his fan was broken.
 
The fan is spinning fine, there's no dust clogging it either.

These are the messages that keep popping up in random order on the BSOD's.

MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_TO.

It's been going for a few days and I dont have the foggiest as what to do.

EDIT: It also refers to different .dll's and .sys files. Such as pci.sys, win32k.sys and ci.dll

Whats your spec? overclocked.
Try removing your memory bar one and see if that works, then try each stick at a time, could be faulty memory.

Hi,
Try removing all components bar 1 stick of memory, hd, cpu & gpu including any external usb devices which are not needed.
Do a CMOS reset and recheck all your voltages and timmings for your memory.
