Was curious if someone could take a minute and help me out with a problem I've been having.

Out of nowhere the last few months my computer has been facing a whole slew of problems. When I try to play a game or even browse the web one of two things happen intermittently:

1) Blue wall of death, then reboot screen
2) Freezes, have to restart

Now when I restart the computer I get a zoomed in command prompt-looking screen with the text saying: "Insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key".
I attempted to redo my operating system from scratch with the disc used to install my current OS when I built the rig, but it loads all night long only to do absolutely nothing.
I can't seem to download anything, be it Windows Updates, etc. I'm lucky to be on the net right now typing this, albeit laggy and choppy atm for whatever reason.

Please halp


/e I also forgot to add before all this started happening, the first problem I noticed was my computer would sit on the Windows boot screen for like 20 minutes before it brings me to my login screen.

Could it be a HD problem or an OS problem?

Sounds like a bad hard drive/ssd.
