Aj...fear not the blue screen....It may be as simple as a USB device...that's what happened to me a while back.
I have a Dell(crap)...had it re-worked with more ram, a new video card, and a new OS...
When I plugged it in....Blue Death...
Took it to the Geek Squad..plugged it in..no problems..
Back at home..same Blue Death...
narrowed it down to my USB mouse...
evidently when the chip in the mouse crapped out the Blue Death Screen appeared.
I know of another person who got the same thing except USB speakers were the cause.
Unplug all your USB devices...(scanner,printer, mouse, etc)
and boot your CPU up....if that works...start plugging them back in 1 at a time to see if thats the cause...process of elimination...hope that helps...its worth a shot!
