    Take a pic and post it up here. We may be able to point you in the right direction. Should also try booting into safe mode.

    Best program to troubleshoot is Blue Screen View.

    Creates a logfile of what caused the crash. Quite useful.

    If it boots in Safe Mode that could work.

    Looks like a USB3 problem ? Unplug all USB devices and try again maybe ?

    If that doesn't work go to Safe Mode and see will it boot. Open Device Manager and see if there are any Unknown Devices or devices with a yellow triangle next to them.

    Have you installed any new Hardware/Software recently ?

    remove any peripherals like printer etc.
    Boot into safe mode and run system restore wizard back to a date when it was working fine.

    Tried everything but will wipe drive and reinstall the OS. Nothing has worked so far.

    I have a question re the installation. I built the machine myself and used my vista OS disc then, but afterwards got an upgrade disc to Windows7. Do I have to install Vista first and then use the windows7 upgrade disc so isn't there a simpler way to do it?

    Don't tell me get windows 10 ;-) I installed it on my laptop and hattttttttee it!

    There are viruses that continually restart the PC. Before you wipe your PC.

    1.Start your computer in safe mode with command prompt.

    2. type rstrui.exe and then press ENTER

    3. Choose a restore point from before the restarts began.

    4. When your PC restarts download Malwarebytes (Free Version will do). Run a scan.

    IF you can't start in Safe Mode

    you'll need Hitman Pro (30 days free), it will allow you to make a bootable USB, that bypasses the Virus and then runs a scan to remove it.
