Try pressing F8 on startup and going into Safe Mode.

Right-click on My Computer and select Properties.

Click on the Advanced tab

Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings

remove the checkmark beside the box "Automatically restart".

Close everything and reboot.

What will happen then is the blue screen will freeze. This will give
you time to get teh information off the screen.

You can then start here:

Google a bit as well. There are some excellent articles.

If you can't get into Safe Mode, then test the hardware to make sure it
is healthy. Here are hardware troubleshooting steps:

If you have any hardware failure, replace the component(s) and see if
that helps.

If the hardware is healthy, then try a Repair Install. Make sure you
don't have any peripherals connected when you do this. If the Repair
Install doesn't work, reinstall Windows. If you neglected to back up
your data and need it, you can still get the data by booting with
Knoppix, a Bart's PE, or ERD Commander (expensive).

If this all seems too much - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional computer
repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).
