I can restart striking F8 and have options, but the OS listed is Microsoft XP professional.

Did you use to have XP installed? Or did you buy the PC new with Vista installed.

From the F8 options select "Safe Mode with Networking" and then follow these instructions - Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions - Windows 7 & Vista - Tech Support Forum
