I have a fairly new Dell Inspiron 700m, and it hasn't given me trouble until now.

"We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this."

then it give the options of starting it in: safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last known configuration, or normally.

when i attempt to start in safe mode, it just lists a bunch of numbers and letters that i don;t understand. then i goes to a blue screen that says "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer..." then some other stuff as well.

help please? it won't do anything other than show me those two screens.
