Blue Screen, computer will not start up

Last night my laptop took a poop. Got it in September, HP, Windows 7.

I'm on ICQ and suddenly my ICQ sort of freezes, then I get a blue screen with a bunch of text and technical details. The end of the screen does not give me a prompt or specific instructions, aside from "contact your administrator."

So I restart the computer (after a hard power down) and I'm given two different options. Repair, or start Windows normally.

First I do the repair option. Computer takes a minute to "repair." It then forwards to a blank screen, as if it wants to load something, but nothing happens. I let sit for a few minutes, still nothing. I power down again.

Then I start Windows normally. The computer goes to the Windows logo screen, the logo runs through its flashing cycle, but nothing happens. This repeats over and over again. I powered down again.

I then try each of the above once again. Still nothing. Any clues what's up? Can I do a system recovery to a prior date somehow?
