Hello everyone and thanks in advance for your help

I have a dell inspiron 1501 runing windows Vista Home SP2

My problem started yesterday when I started the computer. It will show the Dell Inspiron screen, go to windows password logon screen. Once you enter the password windows will boot and go to the desktop. Once the desktop comes up, the screen goes blue with scattered small white boxes for a few seconds then reboots.

Once I rebooted into safe mode I recieved an error box stating windows recovered from an unexpected shutdown. Under addition information it list:
