Windows splash screen for a few seconds then freezes black

I've actually got into windows twice. Even automatic repair usually crashes at a black screen. The computer isnt responding because when I press caps lock the light doesnt turn on / off. Can anyone help? It's a HP pavilion 6130 with 8GB ddr2 ram and an AMD phenom x4 (dont know the rest) processor. I've tried clearing the cmos, reseating ram, and reseating the cpu. The gpu is on the motherboard it's something from Nvidea. Can anyone help? I'm trying to get this for my brother for online school.

Are you able to go into Safe Mode?

Nope, if windows try's booting with the "preparing automatic repair" statement the same thing will happen. I replaced bad compactors and it is same as before. Like I said the boot drive works on other pcs, so I don't know what's happening.
If you do not have anything important on the drive, perhaps try a clean install? Usually with that message, it may be a corruption to the boot manager or windows files, but if it works in another machine, that doesn't make too much sense unless the motherboard is bad.

I replaced caps on the mobo with new ones that are the same voltage and stuff (6.3v 820uF) and now it doesnt go all the way black instead it just freezes when the windows logo is on screen and the loading circle spins a couple times. After that, it freezes, the circle is still there but stops spinning, and the computer is unresponsive.
If you are not able to install Windows, then try a new drive.
I finally fixed it. I replaced all the 6.3v 820uF capacitors on the motherboard and it works flawlessly. Thank you whoever helped or tried helping and good luck who has this same issue!

You did a repair that is way beyond most of our knowledge (component level repair), but I am glad you have figured it out.
