My PC powers down when I try to load Windows

[Blainey]

When I turn my PC on, I get past the motherboard screen and the PC crashes during / right after Windows has loaded. Sometimes after a black screen, I see the welcome screen other times it powers down before I get the chance. Sometimes I get to a blue screen that tells me Windows has failed to load, I use that to load my PC up in safe mode, which seems to work okay. I have tried a system restore twice, one worked and the other failed.

can you tell me your components, gpu cpu and psu ?

When you restored your system this issue still persisted ?

could be power or parts issue. start with another gpu for testing..see if someone has any other gpu to see if it the gpu or the power supply. if the fx8000 has onboard video like newer apu try using the onboard video.

You didn't recently updated windows or something like that ?

1)Try a system restore once more
2)try putting windows installation cd to boot and choose under advanced - fix windows errors
3) if steps 1 and 2 doens't fix the issue, format everything and reinstall windows

I think you can download it from microsoft website and then put it on bootable usb drive

I don't think my USB drive can fit Windows on it.
Tried doing a system restore and it failed also checked my CPU temp in BIOS and it is only 20c if that changes anything.

How do I choose to use the onboard graphics?

You can find 8GB usb drives in almost every store for less than 10$, windows 10 takes around 4GB, get one and then try fixing the errors..

You're still going to need that USB for windows re installation

Another thing before you reinstall windows. Boot windows in safe mode with networking, make sure you have the latest drivers and updated BIOS to latest version!

I really hate how much help I need with this, but would you mind helping me find the downloads for the drivers and BIOS? I'm terrified of doing something wrong when my PC is already not working properly.

I just checked it for your motherboard, it seems like they didn't release any new BIOS apart from cpu agesa 1.5.0 update which will not solve your issue.

here's for video driver:

got to dowbload tab and just select your windows 10 is it x32/x64, download and install Catalyst 15.7.1 & Graphics Driver
before doing this use DDU to uninstall the driver first:
