My computer boots up and then when it goes to Windows, it stops working and the screen goes black. I reset it twice and did a system restore twice and it still hasn't worked. I have a PowerPoint presentation due Monday and I desperately need help turning it on. I don't know if there is a command prompt code I need to know but whatever it is I need help. Thanks.

Btw safe mode does not work
 
Solution
There's something I... um... forgot about safe mode. It needs to be enabled. Follow the second set of instructions here, but if you cant get BIOS, you'll need to reinstall anyway (to enter BIOS spam F12 or delete before the windows boot cycle. The only advantage this has is not losing all your files, but yu can also get them off by using hte bad drive not as a bott drive, but as a secondary drive and cloning it to something, or copying and pasting what you want.

Try running one RAM stick at a time per socket untill you've tested each stick in each socket. IF one stick works in all of the sockets, the other stick died. If both sticks work in all but one of the sockets, sometings wrong with your motherboard.
 
I thinks it's either your PSU or CPU. Most people would't have a spare CPU lying around, but if you have one compladible with your current build, try it out. Same goes for if you have a spare PSU.
Also try booting w/ IGP and no GPU installed. If it boots up after then, its eiher your PSU or GPU.
If you threy the GPU in another PC and it works (assuming the second computer has suffiecent power), you PSU was broken
 
Try to boot up in safe mode by spamming F8 as you start up. If you can get it, it's probably a driver problem. If you get in, disable the auto reboot on crash option by going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlCrashControl, and either create or edit a DWORD named AutoReboot, and set it to 0. If you didn't get it with the F8, you can attach the system drive to another computer, and then use RegEdit or another utility to change the AutoReboot value. Then boot it in the problem machine and tell us the crash message, probably in the form of a BSoD
