I just assembled a new computer using some possibly fried components and a new Intel D865GVHZ motherboard and 3.06 Celeron D processor. After having difficulties with my original set up, I opening up my fully functioning computers and started swapping components without success. I've tried swapping RAM, HD, PSU, and video cards though they have all given me the same results.
Here's the situation:
Every time I power on the computer, I get past the video POST, the bios logo, and finally to the screen where windows asks whether I'd like to start in safe mode. Reguardless of the option I choose, the computer loads for a second, then flashes a quick BSOD before it restarts and repeats the same exact routine. I can get into the bios fine and it seems to be recognizing all of the components without difficulty. Again, it shouldn't have anything to do with Windows since I swapped the main HD for another with the same exact results. I suspect either my motherboard or CPU is fried, but without a reliable version of either, I cannot tell what's to blame. Thanks for your help.
 
Here's another option, I found this out on my own the hard way.

I built my HTPC and had the same problem. I finally was able to see the blue screen and the error code came back as a bad CD-ROM. Well that wasn't a big deal, I had a DVD Burner on the way. I got the burner here and all was well, or so I thought. As it turns out my IDE 2 header is gimpy and works sometimes, and doesn't others. What I have to do is unplug the DVD Burner form the ribbon cable and pull the power to get back into Windows.

This might not be your problem but I lost a few hairs over my problem before I found out how to work around the problem.
