or reload windows after getting data off as had to do that with customer's vista laptop when it bsod on her.
If you can get into the bios it may be possible to turn off parity checks. Odd to see them these days.. last time I saw something like that was back in p2 days. If it has 2 sets of ram try pulling just one.. then the other.. usually only one stick has gone mad, or like I said it could be a bios reset related to the bsod
