My laptop won't turn on. It would start up normal then the BSOD would show up for a second and would restart. I tried to turn it on in safe mode but it would so the same just without the BSOD

Power up the PC and start tapping F8 key immediately, this shoud get the advanced screen, select "Disable automatic restart on system failure" when it bsod's the screen should stay up, copy the entire error message and post it.

press and hold the power button to shut the laptop down when you are done.
