Laptop shutting down (bluescreen, Vista

[mh33]

My Laptop has started shutting down. Once the desktop loads within a minute a box pops up saying WONDOWS EXPLORER HAS STOPPED WORKING. Then the blue screen appears and the laptop shuts off and goes to the screen asking whether to boot in safe mode, normal, last good configuration etc.

Any ideas on how this can be fixed? I've got a Dell Inspiron 1525 / Windows Vista.

Thanks.
