if all else fails, download hiren's boot cd and run a memory checker.
(if you have another computer that's working, that is.)

Don't boot all the way to safe mode
Restart your computer. As the computer boots up, repeatedly hit the F8 key until the Advanced Boot Options appear. This menu allows you to boot to a command prompt without loading Windows.
Select “Safe Mode with Command Prompt.” The computer will continue booting and you will see a list of drivers being loaded. After they finish loading you will be presented with a command prompt.
Run chkdsk. Type “chkdsk” and press enter to run a check on the current drive without fixing any errors.
To run chkdsk and fix errors, type “chkdsk c:/f” Replace “c” with the drive letter you would like to fix.
To run chkdsk and fix errors, locate sectors and retrieve data, type “chkdsk c:/r” Replace “c” with the drive letter you would like to fix.
You may be prompted to restart if the drive is in use. If prompted, press Y to accept.

You originally weren't even getting past the BIOS boot screen. I would have focused on making that reliable, by removing things until it was possible, and I could get into the BIOS. Then I would have added things back one by one until hopefully it broke again. If that part is working fine now, and Windows is what is freezing, you should be able to approach the Windows issue in the same way. However, I would first try running Memtest86+ to see if it can coax out a memory error.
