Unusual computer 'Blue Screen'?

I have a Samsung Notebook, after it hit an abrupt close )Battery died) I restarted the computer.

(I'd like to note I had no problems or errors prior to this)

Once restarted the computer gives the options:

'Run in Safe mode(+ Networking / Command prompt)

Last known working settings

Start Windows Normally'

No matter what I try to acsess, even Safe Mode, I hit a blue screen. It only flashes up for about 1/2 second, then it reboots again in a continual loop.

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? I don't think I can reinstall the drivers or remove crashed ones because I cannot access Safe mode at all.

Thanks!

    Start the PC, then start tapping the F8 key about twice a second.

    When the Windows Advanced Options Menu appears, choose Disable automatic restart on system failure.

    This will cause it to stop on the blue screen so you can read the technical information (Stop code and any file names referenced). Then you can search on the stop code and/or post it here for info.

    Stop codes will be 8 hex digits preceeded with 0x, like 0xC00000F8

    You could place your windows cd in your drive, enter bios and select a boot order by hitting F2 or F12 when the option asks, and select boot from CD. Go through the steps to repair the windows install. I know this is frustrating, I've had it a few times myself. What usually happens is a windows file is corrupted or hardware is broken from spills/falls, etc. If your CD drive doesnt work you can also repair windows (Vista and 7) with a USB flash drive with at least 4 GB on it.
