bsod on startup :( Options

[=R6= Raile]

yo guys

so last night my computer decided to bsod on me while it was just sitting at the desktop. Since then, it bsod'd about 5 seconds after loading the desktop each time I booted it. The first time I tried to boot in safe mode, it worked, however, the second time I booted it up, now safe mode won't work either (it gets to a black screen, with a mouse cursor, but just hangs there. even when booting in to safe mode with dos prompt only). So I'm kind of fucked. I've tried removing each ram stick and seeing if any of those are causing the problem. I've tried using the windows boot up disk (i'm using vista btw) to repair windows, do a system restore, and check for memory problems. basically I did every test the windows disk has to offer, and nothing worked. I'm guessing it's gotta be hardware? Though I didn't think it mattered, I pulled out my audio board anyway and tried booting but no change. It's the only thing I think I can unplug and test. All I've got left is the mb, graphics card, and harddrive. Any suggestions on how I find out what the problem is?

Cheers

no raid setup. no odd noises from hd. was asking about new harddrives this week cuz i was gonna get a SSD and win7 and do the whole thing, prob next weekend. this either really sucks that it happened today and not next week, or its a blessing depending on what ends up being the problem. i'll check in to the gfx thing now (i'm home today cuz my boiler fucking broke! gas guy is like, i'll come between 8am and 5pm. fuckin hell!)

edit - no gfx on board as far as i'm aware. any other suggestions? motherboard: abit IP35 Pro XE
