Don't have a clue what has happened to my main rig, I just restarted and the thing won't boot.

I get the 'starting windows' with but the animation of the windows logo is frozen there, I have no clue what can have caused this and am a bit of a n00b, I'd appreciate any help. 'windows repair' starts but then ends up restarting the pc...

specs:

i5 2500K OC@ 4.7Ghz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68A-D3
8.0GB Corsair DDR3 1600mhz XMS3 (4x 2GB)
HD: Crucial 64GB SSD S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s
Second hard drive: 1TB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s
GeForce GTX 580

I'm really worried as I have a few big things I was working on that are not backed up

The more I'm reading the more it's sounding like my SSD has failed on me....

can't boot in safe mode either, just hangs after 10 or so lines, can someone help me pleaseeee

 

[RealityCrunch]

What line does it hang on when you try to boot into safe mode?

 

[Laffles]

\windows\system32\drivers\AVGIDSEH.sys

just tried repair again, got a blue screen;

MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION

that sounds like a cpu/ram issue can you get into the bios, if so then set all everything to default and see if it will boot. I am thinking your oc is done.

wow. you're a life saver, it worked. Thank you so much!

I'm a total noob bro. a good friend who built it for me. I thought given the fact it has that watercooler overclocking it isn't a problem?.. should I try pushing it to 4.5 instead of 7?

Its probably because you have all 4 slots of ram populated.
