   Would like you go to safe mode
   There are so many reasons for blue screen, making it impossible to explain them comprehensively
   you can do a free scan to diagnose the error.

   Personally I cloud my files. (store them on an outside server") I lost over 6,000 old time rock songs a few years ago. Bummer.
   Now! Gointo BIOS or SET UP when you turn on the computer. If you Can do that you don’t have a virus that has over wtitter BIOS.

   Select "boot" tab. Make the CD device the 1st boot device… Boot the machine with the restore disk. Select a DOS session. View hard drives from c: to e:
   If no drives are larger than about 2 gig.. Yer outta luck, kinda.

   From this point you can run FDISK. Delete the NONDOS partitions and perform a lowlevel format. Do not create an active DOS partion at the prompt. You will have lost everything at this point. Reinstall windows at this point!

   If yer asking this question…. I guess that yer computer works?

   Since you are using a surge protector, I assume that it is a desktop, and that you can put another hard drive in. Also since the drive gets to System Restore, then it supposedly still works. If I were you, I would put another hard drive in, clone the Vista hard drive to the newly inserted one, and then reinstall vista on the original drive. Then proceed to copy the original files back. You can see instructions on how to do this online.

   you have a virus. Someone probably went to a "bad" site on your computer and there is a trogen or worse downloading malicious software on your computer. when you turn on your computer, if you press F1 during the boot up you will get options of which method to start your comp. go to safe mode and let it start. windows will boot but usually the only way to get a virus like that off your system is to delete everything. and restart.

   Problem with Vista is its easy to break, but almost impossible to fix, your best option is to take out the hard drive and put into another working machine to copy out the songs and documents first, then reinstall the sucker again, fixing Vista is a hit or miss esp if you are on BSOD.

   I know a tool may help you but the premise is you have installed it. Even though it can’t help you this time, it can easily solve this problem next time.

   After you install it on your pc, first create snapshots which are equal to backup. When there is something wrong to your system, you just need select a snapshot and reboot. In 20seconds, your system will be back to the former healthy state. Even your pc crashes, you can still run it.

   Try it! http://www.disk-utilities.com/system-restore/

   Good luck!
