Try booting in safe mode?
If you can...sounds like bad video drivers from what you've posted thus far.
Download/install BlueScreenView, http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html.
Double-click BlueScreenView.exe file.
When scanning is done, Edit/Select All...then File/Save Selected Items. Save the report as BSOD.txt.
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.

Is it because of bad RAM? If it is, I can get new RAM soon.

Well...I've had bad RAM one time...and the screen display was very distorted and dark when I tried to boot. I don't know if you are experiencing the same thing, but what made you ask about RAM?

I mean the power supply unit inside the computer was faulty - But yours may be something else ??
A repair shop replaced the unit and that fixed mine -
Please also stay with any ideas from Hamluis -

At this point...no one can say what it will take to fix whatever is wrong. You've provided a minimal amount of information...and the world of computing just is not as simple as we might like.
How about running BlueScreenView from safe mode?

I would remove the hard drive...place it in a USB enclosure...and then connect it to a different system...and run chkdsk /r on that drive.
