pc is very much broken

[hxdderzphd]

hello everyone,
this is going to be a strange one for you guys and galls but i bought a "gaming pc" for £40, purely to see what it could run and all that good stuff. ive run into countless problems, all which have been resolved one way or another but this one i am stumped, and cant find anything on the internet to help me. 

PC now powers on, takes a few minutes to register an output when cold but its fine when it gets above 25°c, comes up with the packard bell logo with the options for bios and other boot stuff. i can enter those options fine and everything in bios with no problems. the problem starts when i let it run through as if to start up. if i turn it on from off then it runs through to a menu asking to start normally or run launch repair. 

if i let it run Windows normally then it shows the bar at the bottom with windows underneath it or something but halfway through the windows 4 colour thing animation, it freezes for a second, white then blue screens so fast that even my slow motion mode only just captures it. if i let it run startup repair then it tells me windows cant find the problem but when i check the problems it says everything has passed successfully and thats it, if i click finish it turns off my computer, if i click advanced it comes up with an administrator password or something which i dont have and when i click finish it restarts the entire thing from the start. 

I think it may be faulty hard drives (going off a slightly similar thing that someone had but no where near like this) but i want to make sure before i go and buy one and it not be the problem solver i thought it was.

 

any questions will be answered as soon as i get the email, thank you.

Check your CPU pins, RAM slots for damage if not then try with an alternate drive to check if you haven't already

It could be the drive itself, the OS may have gone corrupt, or if it's loading files into ram as system startup does, something could be wrong with your ram. You could connect the drive to another computer and check it for bad sectors. If it comes back fine you could reinstall windows. If it doesn't, replace the drive & reinstall windows. You can also run memcheckx86 to see if your ram is spitting out errors. If there's errors it might be the cause of the crashing.

What are the specs of the computer?

This. If BIOS is fine, first thing I'd try is a bootable media (a Windows repair disk, a live Linux distro) and check the HDD integrity from there, try a Windows repair from the windows disk, or maybe attempt a clean install of whatever OS it had. For all you know, it may as well be a thriving virus colony
