Encountered an error on a server today that I haven’t seen in awhile.  The system was BSOD’ing during windows loading.  Almost always this issue is related to a bad stick of memory.  Simple troubleshooting technique of trying one stick at a time showed that the second stick of memory was in fact bad.  After replacing the stick with a new one and running Memtest 86+ the issue was resolved.  Also note that you may want to run a chkdsk on the system after having any issue causing perpetual reboots as it can cause issues with the file system.
