This morning I turned my pc on but I realised that it was on the screen with the blue logo and spinning circles thing. After a while it gave the BSOD and restarting automatically. It did this once again before going to the automatic repair screen. I've tried the recovery, system restore and the, reset option. None worked and I can't go into safe mode.

Please help
 

There are 2 things I suggest you try before doing a reinstall of windows:

Get your windows installation and insert into the pc then boot your pc and go into the bios, change your boot priority to have the windows installation media first and restart. In the window that pops up click next - repair your computer - troubleshoot - advanced options - command prompt and type the following commands while hiting enter in between each:

bootrec /repairbcd
bootrec /osscan
bootrec /repairmbr


Close the command prompt and reboot.
If that doesn't work then follow the same instructions but instead use these commands (hit enter after each):

CD C:\Windows\System32\config
ren C:\Windows\System32\config\DEFAULT DEFAULT.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\config\SAM SAM.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\config\SECURITY SECURITY.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE SOFTWARE.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM SYSTEM.old

copy C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\DEFAULT C:\Windows\System32\config\
copy C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SAM C:\Windows\System32\config\
copy C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SECURITY C:\Windows\System32\config\
copy C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SYSTEM C:\Windows\System32\config\
copy C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SOFTWARE C:\Windows\System32\config\


This will eliminated the possibility of it being a registry error but if this also doesn't work do a fresh windows install.
And if none of this helps then i would guess you have faulty memory or hard drive.
