I have the exact same thing going on right now. Did you ever find a resolution, short of a complete rebuild, to your BSOD.

Read the following link and determine if you have either the system recovery cd or a backup partition. Then follow instructions for startup repair

Good Luck

*Edit*
First run memtest86+

Hi, thanks for the link but I've been down all those roads. The not being able to run SR is a real pain. Just tried running a permissions sweep suggested from this link:

VISTA - Black Screen white mouse pointer

With no better results. That's why I was curious about markeagles experience, it's the exact situation I have with this Toshiba laptop, my mother's of course, and I do this for a living. I'd probably back it up and do the Toshiba out of the box restore but I just spent an incomprehensible amount of time gathering up all her data from 2 old (I mean old previous old computer backups included) and getting her all up and running on this new LT.

Any other client I would have told them hope you have a backup it's reinstall time. Mom has had this LT 2 weeks and it did this after a WU overnight. No backup done yet. Grrr.
