I assume you have put the windows CD in the drive ?
With it giving the large with a BSOD I suspect the RAM might need reseating

Take the Hard drive out, restore it on another PC but just reinstalling windows without deleting old data. Also make a backup incase next step fails!
Make sure all hardware on the laptop is ok like ram, fans etc are all sitting nice.
Put the hard drive back in.
If it fails, its time for a visit to Comet for a new one!
Could be hardware or software, without looking at it i couldnt tell
Cost to repair maybe more than an upgrade!
