A few other steps you might try.
1. Have you installed any updates to your BIOS? If so try to roll them back. If not try and see if there is a new version you can update to.
2. Unplug your computer, hold the power button down for 10secs. Restart. See if that helps at all
3. Try cleaning the computers ports with some compressed air.
4. Check the BIOS and see if you have the option under boot to "Halt on all errors". Tell it not to if you can
If this is a cheap computer, my recommendations would be to buy another cheap/decent PC and just swap the hard drive out. You wont loose any data. Otherwise you can attempt to replace the motherboard if you know how or hire someone to repair it.
