Dave: There are some Linux based troubleshooting environments such as GRML, but nothing for Windows unfortunately. I tried once to get something like NVDA to run in Windows PE but it didn't work too well. In any case, in cases like yours where the machine won't boot in safe mode even, unless pulling memory or something like that works, your best bet is to reinstall anyway, as something is usually really hosed.

It's getting a BSOD stop error 0x000c2 which googling revealed was a kernel or memory driver issue. The machine will not boot normally and surprisingly not boot in safe mode. I'm going to start pulling memory chips, see if one of them is the cause, then clean out it's insides. If i have to go deeper in this are there any accessible troubleshooting environments, like a windows PE with accessibility such as sound enabled? Thanks.
