Laptop Will not Boot

[bpruitt]

Every time I turn my laptop on, it goes through the boot screen, the loading screen, then BAM it goes to the blue screen, something about a cache dump to blah blah blah (it's never up long enough for me to write anything down)

Im almost positive this is a result of windows update, infact about 99.9% so, but im still not sure how to fix it.

Im running Vista 64bit. I upgraded it to Service Pack 2, and restarted. Once the computer booted back up, Windows Update said i had updates to apply, so it downloaded and installed them, it restarted, and now this.

happens every time.

Things i've tried:

• Startup Repair
• Boot from last known good configuration
• System Restore from the options menu

I am able to boot to safe mode, but once im in there, I just don't know what to do to fix the computer.

Can someone please help me

Turn off restart on error - then the bluescreen will freeze instead of rebooting. This will give you the best clues.
