The best advice for you, in my opinion, is to copy the error number on the blue death screen. Then google parts of it to see if any related problem is on the Internet. Besides Google also you can use MS knowledgebase like Bob posted (http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1)
a free memory tester (run it overnight) (http://www.memtest86.com/) or XP error explanations (http://www.xptuneup.com/xptuneup_stopmessages.htm).
