First - re-seat the hard disk and reboot the computer. If the computer does not boot up then reboot and go into the BIOS configuration to see if the BIOS detects the hard drive. If it doesn't detect the hard drive then it could be faulty. Then the hard drive needs to be replaced in the computer/laptop, Windows installed and the computer or laptop's device drivers plus your programs etc. to get a functioning computer/laptop again.
Have you done any Hardware/Software Updates/Upgrades? Have you tried a System Restore/Recovery? Reseat the Memory mods, Graphic Card, etc. Try to boot to safe mode, Open msconfig, select Normal Startup, reboot. Let us know what the results are.
You normally get an alpha numeric code with a blue screen, looks like (eg) 00000000xxxxxxx000eee34520e (or similar). If you can post this code, it might get you a more specific answer.
The problem is usually hardware related (but not always) if you get the code appearing and points to one of the following:
Hard drive failure Ram failure
Before investigating these, diagnose for software related faults. Did you install a new component, or software driver? Sometimes these will cause the problem.
The fact it will not boot to safe mode does indicate that it may be that the windows installation is corrupted. You should first of all try a restore by booting the laptop from the installation CD or DVD. When prompted, select repair and allow it to rebuild the OS. IF this works, then boot to safe mode and carry out a virus scan (to be on the safe side). I recommend downloading DR WEB CURE IT, and letting it do a full scan of the system.
If it still does not work, then you will need to reformat your hard drive and do a full installation of the OS.
If the laptop will not boot from the CD, OR you get a STOP code (see above), the problem is probably hardware related. Check by removing each RAM module in turn and seeing if it boots to check if one of the Ram modules is failing.
After that, suspect the hard drive may be dying, (extreme case scenario), replace and try to install windows from the installation CD on the new drive
so bios pages dead?
not told that, are all bios pages looking ok
BIOS pages good
windows 10 has over 100 unique BSOD page codes and not told.
ms has an example of each for 10 support there.
but no blue screen told of vast.
nor what OS this
w10 does auto self repair if you cold hard boot it 3 time and force the boot to fail 3 times, using power button alone, ask.
you did not say BSOD why, say just blue>?
W10 and older love to BSOD easy for these things.
1:gpu card drive wrong, so remove the card? run on iGPU
2: turn off FAST BOOT, wow, no more BSOD
3: bad DDR2 test them 1 by 1.
if only BSOD on a game or only 1 game say so. that is a bad GAME.
or wrong video driver.
tap the f8 key as the PC is starting, when you see the startup menu, select,"disable automatic restart on failure", then you will be able to see the "BSOD" (blue screen of death), and it will tell you what the error that is causing it not to boot. you can also choose from the f8 menu "Last Known Good Configuration" and see if it will boot to the desktop, if not try safe mode, with or without network support depending on your preferences, your problem is most likely caused by a recently installed Windows update, or driver update, or some other software install, if its not clear to you from the info you see on the BSOD, try to use the system restore feature, and roll back to a date it was working, if it solves your prob, pleas give me a fixya rating. Thanks
its a driver problem, my bud had the same probs with a older nVidia but gives same BSOD msg. just up date the drivers or reinstall them.

all picked out for ya just C&P it. oh and after downloading new drivers uninstall the old drivers in the add/remove, restart and turn off the found new hardware wiz then install new drivers and restart again. sad to say that the BSOD was only hapaning cuz my buds card was dieing. hope that yours lives =D
