Bsod doesn't mean it's not fixable, most of the time it's a software issue. Get someone with experience to check your system, you might be back in the fold allot quicker then you're expecting :)

And don't forget one of my mostly used motto : "When in doubt, reboot."

Have you tried turning your PC back on? As MtM said, a BSOD is hardly a true death sentence for a computer. My first laptop would BSOD quite often with the original WinSMP client, but that was some combination of early Vista and early SMP, not hardware. The hardware ran fine until I tried upgrading the processor and fried something (probably the motherboard).

My favorite troubleshooting quote comes from The IT Crowd:

"Hello IT have you tried turning it off and on again?"

(usually fixes it, but if not)

"Have you checked the plug?"

No one's ever made it past the second question with a still-nonfunctioning computer.
