Check the power/data cables are the correct way around. Some of them can fit both ways round in the sockets. Also dropping a laptop in a puddle isn't very good, so check that none of the capacitors have ruptured, or any connections between the circuit boards are not damaged.

Normally a blue screen (aka the blue screen of death or BSOD for short), is due to a RAM or graphics card issue. What graphics card are you running, and how much RAM do you have?

try upgrading to wmp version 11. It has a far superior rip quality to version 10. And you can get it free! :) go here : [url]http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx[/url]

Have you had a virus recently? if so, start it in safe mode, and run a virus scan, this will then hopefully fix the start-up freezing.
