BSOD

Argh, I have a computer problem!

I started up my rickety laptop this morning, and it got to the black Windows screen with the little progress bar, and then flashed a blue screen at me and restarted. It has done this repeatedly now. I have started in Safe Mode with Networking, and am hence actually online and functional, but this is plainly not ideal. I have had devce driver issues in the past, so I suspect that is the problem, but I am going to need advice on dealing with it. As a first step, I am looking up how to change the System Failure = Auto-Restart option as it is preventing me actually reading the blue-screen message.

Geeks: What do I do after that?
