Blue screen of death is undiagnosable.
The only thing I can think of is to check that your ram and any drive cables are plugged in properly. Failed (or improperly plugged in ram) can lead to blue screens of death. But so can about a million other unknowable things.

I think they may have taken out my new 2 gig RAM card and given me some antique shit like was in it when I inherited it. I'll check it out tomorrow. Will check the connections while I'm in there.

They didn't do much the first time around. I'll send it back, I guess. I've got used to using my tiny netbook at work now, anyway.

Re: Computer go BOOM!
Microsoft's support page suggests it's either a faulty driver or an error on your hard drive (or a virus, but since you did a clean install it's definitely not that). If you can start up in safe mode try installing the most recent drivers for all your components (Vista was notorious for not being backward compatible with a lot of hardware out of the box) or run chkdsk.exe from the recovery console to check and fix your hard drive.

Ha! It's the university's machine. I'm not putting another cent into it. I tried using a Mac once. It was...just weird.
To the others: Thanks for the advice. I did start it in safe mode. I'll try chkdsk.exe today. The Vista download page specifically said that it was for XP, but...
Don't know how much memory goes for these days. Haven't been in the market for a while and things change so fast.

Try a linux install on it. Use something like mint that does all the work for you. If that goes tits up too you know it is a hardware problem
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
