Do you ever hear Windows start up or does it seem to lock up?
 
Judging from the picture, I'd say the 280 is dumping out.

PC Specs

-Gigabyte EX-58 EXTREME motherboard
-Intel Core i7 920 - Bloomfield
-GTX 280 SSC
*I am mixing memory, though I have never had issue with this in the past but I understand that this is not recommended especially if the memory don't have the same speed.
-I'm running 6GB of G.Skill PC3-10700H (667Mhz)
 and 3GB of Corsair (667MHz)  In CPUz the Timings tables do not match completely G.skill lowest timing is 592Mhz, Corsair's lowest is 444MHz but the chips match eachother at 666MHz.  That doesn't really look like it would be an issue since they're running the same speed apparently...

-Samsung 840 SSD

aka_steve you suggested to some possible culprits so what I'm gonna do is buy some new cables for my monitors and see if that stops the issue I'm having.. My GTX 570 was doing weird stuff too and my friend said that it sounded like it was a monitor/cable related issue but once I swapped back to the 280 the graphic distortions stopped for about 9 months and then these boot up issues started.

Also yeah when the screen goes black at post when you get passed the "welcome" screen I do hear the windows log in sound and the machine promptly goes to what I showed in the picture.

I hope my 280 isn't on the fritz :( it's an awesome back up card and I paid over 600 bucks for it since I got it the day it came out lol 

After the cable/ adapter swaps happen --> if it still doing it
 
my next thing would be to switch to a seperate monitor & see if it continues, - IF SO - probably narrowed it down to a bad graphics card
 
You can always see about borrowing/ swapping out the video card also and that will tell you right away too if it's a bad card.

Bumping an old topic

My issue went away for a couple months and now it's back...  It's strange that the computer will always artifact and restart, but windows picks it up as a blue screen.

I managed to get windows to give me a little more information about where the error is coming from

I really do not know what else to do any more...

Semi shot in the dark - are you running the latest drivers for your card? 

I've already done a dskchk, I also used the windows applications that varify drivers and I've also done the memory check and everything came back good... But still can't boot without safe mode



Oh and a little background as to when this all began...

I came home last night and launched diablo 3 but once it loaded it it suddenly went to a bright pink screen and stayed that way. and now it's stuck in a BSOD boot loop

Raise your IOH to 1.2V.

You want me to crank up the voltage in the bios?

I'm pretty sure it's at that already I just flashed my cmos to stock and I'm about to flash my bios to a different version since all else has failed.


I just successfully flashed to a slightly older BIOS that isn't a beta version and I still got the same problem.
THis is annoying...
