Good luck! Joe had that 'Blue Screen' scared a few weeks ago as well, and was so frustrated that time, but she said it was the CD player that trigger it and now the laptop is working fine! I guess she needs to get a new one soon if what you are saying is true, that the laptop won't last long...

According to @lilacse, BSODs don't kill your hard drive. So worst case scenario it's just a matter connecting the old hard drive to a new laptop...
Oh, the agony of transferring!!!
In my class, we get BSODs from time to time...mostly from things we know why (like some buggy applications triggered situations in which Windows didn't know how to handle properly, or at times we borked some drivers and stuff...). It doesn't really hurt the laptop if it's a software problem (and yes, we continued to use our laptops for years), but if it's caused by some faulty hardware...better send that to check :) It's not really that easy to find the cause for some BSODs, but sometimes you can get a hint on the cause by recalling the last thing you did before the BSOD happens. If it's just another normal day and it just randomly happened without you trying out any new things and it repeatedly happens, maybe let someone check the hardware. Otherwise, just assume that Windows choked and it's an accident :P
