Now I'm in an infinite setup loop. I get to the screen that says
"Please wait while setup detects and installs drivers..." and I get
fast "blue screen" and PC reboots, that it goes back to this screen,
blue screen, ect...

I've been there. One time it was a bad video card. More recently a corrupted hive was the problem. I had to continually reboot in a dark room and a paper mask on the screen letting me see the error number (c0000218). You can look that up on www.microsoft.com . The article will point you to item 307545 which tells how to restore the registry from one of the copies that has been tucked away.
