I don't think so. It gave me the blue screen every time I started it up. Once it went to the blue screen, it would shut down again and try to start up again and the same thing would happen. So I re-install windows and it worked fine for a few days, but all the sudden it blue screen happen again and shut down. My computer stats up fine right now, but I don't want that to happen again

Yep it's in a loop. Lets see if we can make it stop so you can get me more info on the BSOD.

To begin, turn on or restart your PC.

Just before the Windows 7 splash screen shown above appears, or just before your PC automatically restarts, press the F8 key to enter Advanced Boot Options.

Important: You do not need to be able to access Windows 7 normally to disable the automatic restart on system failure option via the Advanced Boot Options menu.

You should now see the Advanced Boot Options screen shown above.

If your computer automatically restarted or you see a different screen, you may have missed the brief window of opportunity to press F8 in the previous step and Windows 7 is probably now continuing (or attempting) to boot normally.

If this is the case, just restart your computer and try pressing F8 again.

Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, highlight Disable automatic restart on system failure and press Enter.

OK now when you bootup if it blue screens again during boot it will stop. I need you to get the info from it. What I need is in the red box underlined. This should tell me pretty close what the cause of the issue is.
