BOOTMGR image is corrupt. The system can not boot.

I've read a lot of the forum questions about this issue but I can't seem to find help for my issue. I can't boot from a USB stick (which I used to re-install Win 7 a week ago because the DVD drive wasn't working at the time). And when it does boot from the Win7 install DVD it doesn't come up with a menu it just keeps printing an "H" all the way down the screen. I tried removing the DVD drive since I wasn't sure if that was the issue and tried booting from the USB stick and still the same message. I was also having some issues with the BIOS menu freezing on me. I don't know if that is any indication on what might be wrong. I wonder if my BIOS is outdated. Any help would be appreciated. I have a home built box with a GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L.

Thanks in advance.

I'd suspect a ram issue.

Sorry for the late response. This seems to have been the issue. I'm working on 1 of 4 RAM units and I will add one until I get a blue screen and know that is the bad RAM. Thanks so much for your help glc.

I'd recommend you run memtest86+ on each module.
