Windows 8.1 laptop starts, I see logo "please wait"then blue screen

This is driving me mental I gave up on fixing it a few months ago and finally came back.

Any idea if this is a hardware problem parentheses (bad memory? Bad hard drive?) it does not seem to even get into loading the operating system at all however I have changed out the memory to A lower set... No change. I have also swap the hard drives and it immediately picks up the hard drive change and goes to no boot partition (spare hard drive does not have Windows).

If I don't find any answers my next plan is to make a Windows USB drive but my only other computer right now is a Google Chrome book so I can't really do much with that as far as programs go. (I will have to borrow someone else's computer)

Thanks in advance
