    You should first try to boot into safe mode to see if that allows the system to boot up by bypassing normal windows settings and startup programs, get to safe mode by either pressing and holding the "F8 key", or tap the "F8 key" continuously until you get the startup menu.
    If you do manage, then use the oppotunity to back up any information you need.

    What is the error/stop code on the BSOD? That will help identify what the issue is. I very well could be a bad stick o'ram. Run one stick and see how it reacts. Then run the other. See if you can reproduce the problem with one of the sticks and not the other.
