Hi there Faz , welcome to PCHF.

That is very likely a driver issue. Does it also mention a file name on that blue screen?

But my first bet would be an USB device driver , do you have any USB apps connected?

no there is nothing conected to the laptop but we had a problem a wile ago trying to conecting a webcam to it.It would not reconise the divice

Have a look in your add/remove programs , youre "program files" folder and also youre device manager to see if there is still something from the webcam install left.

will do if i can get it to start up keeps freezing at the boot screen

Can you get in safemode? (hit f8 when booting up)

i find if i let it cool down for a wile it will boot up ok
