Do you have an extra memory module you can test with? I would think first
and foremost it's either a hard drive issue or a memory issue. That's what
I check first. If you can put another memory module in there and it still
blue screens, attempt a chkdsk /r from the Windows install CD.

If you visit the link Will Denny suggested you will see that it is
recommended that you check Event Viewer.

Go to Start > Run and type
eventvwr.msc
click OK

Post back any error you see flagged with a red X.

You may have a driver problem or a problem with one of the many system
services.

From what you say it looks like it is video related.

But since it seems unlikely you can boot - even in Safe Mode - I would
suggest a repair install - or if your PC came with a bootable diagnostic
CD-ROM give it a whirl.
