Reformatting and reinstalling just to fix an error condition is pretty
drastic action. Sort of like capital punishment for jaywalking.

What is the exact error message that you are getting on the blue
screen? There may be a simpler and less drastic method of fixing it.

Also if it is an actual hardware problem then reformatting is almost
certainly not going to do anythig about it and you may therefore have
the same error problem again.

Good luck
