When I was playing a game and running ventrillo at once, like I do everyday, my computer just suddenly started to run extremely slow. After about a minute of it running slow, all the programs started not to respond then it blue screened and shut off. When I powered it back on, it asked to boot in safe mode and I choose to. After a list, of what I think was my drivers starting scrolled up the screen, my computer just restarted again. This time I choose to start normaly. After which, my computer blue screened and restarted. The next time I turned it on, the computer powered but the screen is just black and nothing happens. I switched the RAM out and tried again and it still does nothing. My processor (amd 3700+) and motherboard (asus A8A sli-deluxe) aren't that old. Any help would be great. Thanks.

It is difficult to diagnose a problem when you cant even boot in safe mode.
Make sure all fans and heatsinks are clean and working.
Also try to change the graphics card next.

Also in addition to Krlll's advice, make sure all cables are correct connected.

It might be worth using an xp disc (if your running it) and entering the recovery console (if you can even get this far) so that you can make sure that you mbr is ok.

I had a simalar problem on my sisters laptop (kept blue screening and falling over when it tried to boot). All i did was have windows write me a new mbr within the recovery console and it worked fine when i tried to boot next.
