I am in urgent need of help. I just had a power outage, and when I went to restart my computer it blue screened, and continues to. It booted fine in Safe Mode, but still blue screens on normal startup even after a System Restore. I also tried Startup Repair, but it says it can not fix the problem. I'm guessing it's hardware failure, but I don't know what to check/how to check it since it started fine in Safe Mode.
Specs: i5 2500k OC'ed to 4.3Ghz (Tried to bring the clock speed back down to 3.3Ghz, no luck.)
8GB (4GBx2) Kingston HyperX RAM
EVGA Superclocked GTX 570
Corsair TX750 PSU
Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Intel Z68 Motherboard

Try not to use the Graphics card, try to use the onboard graphics, like on the motherboard.

Did you get a virus or something. Or did it overheat.

Before you go shipping things off, go ahead and reset your CMOS, and if you still can't get into Windows go for a fresh install.

I reset the CMOS by taking out the power cable and motherboard battery for 3 mins, and it still blue screened. I don't want to do a fresh install, but I might have to.. Anymore tips?

I don't have any Hard drives laying around.. and this is really starting to piss me off. Usually blue screens are just a restart, but this seems pretty serious. Ugh.
