when I started up my laptop, almost every programme crashed soon after. Then a BSOD came referring to irql not less or more, or something. Now, every time I try to turn it on, it loads for 1-10seconds, then crashes again, this time saying "memory management" is the error. However, the blue screen only lasts long enough for the error message to flash for a split second, with the " 
Sorry, your PC needs to restart after we collect some data" message being on the full time. (Usually less than a second or two.) it does not get past 0% data collection.
Finally, sometimes the BSOD doesn't come up at all, and it just restarts.
I've only once successfully loaded the f8 menu, but it crashed again once I selected "start up repair".
Occasionally it will be stuck on a black screen until I force shutdown
If I get it up again, what should I choose? And if that doesn't work, what else can I do?
I'd prefer not to get new ram if possible, but I need my laptop for work.
Edit: I've managed to get to "Aptio Setup Utility", not quite sure how.
