If you have another computer available and are able to burn a CD .iso download this http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/downloads/dft32_v416_b00.iso

Burn to CD, boot to disc and run test. This is Drive Fitness Test and will tell you if you have a bad hard drive or not. It is free and easy to use. Be sure to run advanced test instead of quick test.

Good luck!

Check your graphics card. Either test it in another PC or substitute a known good card and see if it works.

Make a good new cd or change your cd?dvd writer or you can format your PC with your pendrive/USB.
