It's Windows way of saying that is loves you... 
. Anywho, it's Windows saying it's having a serious problem, serious enough that it can't finish booting. Since it's a laptop, my first intuition would be to check your drivers, do a virus check and run something like ad-aware...

The blue screen of death. Does not happen as much with XP, which version of windows are you using?
As suggested above, you do use a virus and spyware program, right? If you have done all the virus and spyware scans and got nothing; what have you installed recently? probably a driver problem.

there should be a file name listed in your blue screen.
something with .sys or .com or .<threeletters>
do a google search on that file to find out what it belongs to (vid driver, sound driver, etc)
then uninstall that driver and download and install it again, using the newest version you can find
if you really feel like persuing the issue, find the memory dump file and send it to the tech support office of whoever that driver belonged to. (probably not worth your time tho)
good luck.

Well the history of the laptop is that it was dropped. The hard dirve was dead. Slapped in a new one was good for a while then it would'nt power up properly. By that I mean you would push the power button and the power light would come on anf the fan would come on, then the fan would start to pulse on. . . off. . . .on. . .off and it would continue doing this until you pressd and held the power button to turn off.
At this point I took it back to Best Buy because I had the extended warranty. They ended up replacing the power supply, the hdd and the key board(broken button). Ever since then it has been fucked. The hdd was bad so it went back again. Then I had boot-up issues after that. which leads us to the "now" The warratny is still good so I am going to just tell them to replace it because this is rediculous. It is slow as fuck and a pain to work with.

It's a bad HD
If you can log in, save all files on a type of media (CD-R, memory stick, another HD).
If you can't log in to save files, your out of luck.
It's best to look up whatever message you're getting in order to narrow down what the real issue is if you want to find out.
But, I'd save all your files and replaced the HD.
