Sir, 1st make the BSOD readable. To do so, follow this:

Right Click My Computer > Properties > Advanced System settings> Under start up recovery-settings> Then uncheck automaically restart and press OK.

Next time you'll be able to read the blue screen.

Report back the error #.

Also check what the Event Viewer has to say about this error.

(Right click My computer>Manage>System Tools>Event Viewer)

In addition, is there something you installed recently, updated any drivers?

Do you have any additional (other than lenovo factory) memory installed?
