    Many reports state that if you wait a while (sometimes 10 minutes) it carries on like usual. Might be worth a try.

    Is the blue screen the one with white lettering all over it? If so, get the information after the word "STOP" - it's usually down in the lower 1/3 of the screen.

    From what you are explaining, if the repair or reinstall does not solve the issue, you could have some sectors in your HD going out. I would also reseat your RAM dimms.

    Did you reseat your RAM? Pull all the RAM out but one stick and boot from there, do you still get BSOD?

    so i just got my computer back from my school's IT department (they did nothing useful except get my word documents off the harddrive) and i took out all the RAM except for one stick (i only have two 2gig sticks) and it managed to reach the startup repair process. So far so good, ill post the results as they come up.

    Interestingly, the startup repair failed and i restarted and my computer miraculously was able to boot up. i shut it down again and put my second stick back in and i was able to connect to the internet and write this message!
    I am still curious as to what could have caused this problem, but i'm pretty happy that computer is back and working. thanks a bunch!

    Just to be quirky, I'd defrag, then open and check system to chkdsk,.
    then i'd restart not shutdown, but restart and let system do a complete chkdsk, for bad sectors and repair also for cross-linked files... sounds like
    cross-linked files to me... but a bad sector can do the same thing...

    i defragged and then tried to do a chkdsk from cmd prompt. it told me that "Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process.
    I'm restarting now to do a complete chkdsk.

    My computer just froze again and i had to power down and restart, however there were no more blue screens and it started up again smoothly. Very strange symptoms.
