Strange.

Here is what I sent earlier.

My interpretation --

You have at least two problems, one of which is defective hardware and
another is related to Windows' installation. If you could get into
Safe Mode and stay there consistently, this might be something you
could fix by finding more appropriate device drivers. However, you say
that Safe Mode is unstable. Furthermore you say you get different
error messages on different occasions. Such behavior can only come
from hardware, as software would do the same things each time. You
need to get reliable hardware before you can do anything with
software.
