This will definitely solve things, but it might be way more work than necessary. First, take note of the error message that appears on the blue screen (like, 'IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL') followed by the 'STOP' code after it (like '0x00000050' followed by more numbers in parenthesis), as these will pinpoint the exact problem. A Google search on the code (on a different computer) can often provide you with a course of action. Also, try these forums for direct assistance:
