You need to get BSoD code(s) for that you can use a camera in video mode.

Alright I did that an am getting "Mountable_Boot_Volume"
I'm gonna try re sitting the ram and everything unless there's another solution
EDIT re sitting ram and hdd did absolutely nothing.

It could be a lot of things. Start with running Memtest. If it passes, run "chkdsk" to check condition of the disk.

I'm not sure how to start with memtest due to it not being able to start at all and I'm on my phone atm

You will have to download Memtest ISO and put it on an USB or CD. It does not require Windows. You should be able to start "chkdsk" from the recovery menu.

I don't have any other pc in my house so I guess I'll have to wait till the weekend to do anything.

Is there a public library near you or a friend that will let you use their PC to download the ISO?

The earliest I would be able to download the ISO is probably tomorrow night. I'll update thread once I've done the memtest ISO

If you have a Hiren's Boot DVD, try using Paragon HDM - in there you will have boot corrector, mbr fix and some other things...
Now just give boot corrector a try...hopefully it will fix it :) good luck

Update I downloaded and ran the Memtest Iso and it told me there were no errors detected, yet I'm still unable to boot up and if I start in Recovery Mode nothing shows up on the screen.

Anyone know what the problem could be? Still haven't found anything out.

Have you tested your HDD for errors including bad sectors?

I'm not sure how to do so if it won't boot, I ran Memtest ISO and it detected no errors

Ultimate Boot CD has some tools that you can use to test your HDD for errors.

I would suggest downloading the ISO and burning it off to a CD or creating a live USB. Then booting your computer off of it.
