    What happens is it turns on normally then goes to a screen asking to start windows normally or startup repair (reccomended) then when you go startup repair it goes the the blue screen saying that message and when you start windows normally it just reboots and goes back to that screen everytime.....

    Just do the usual. Ground yourself and remove one stick of ram and start the PC up. Continue until you find the culprit or use a hard white eraser on the slot contacts of the RAM sticks/modules to see if a good clean is all they needed.
