When I turned my computer on last night I got a blue error message screen, the computer rebooted and asked me which option to try restarting windows in--safe mode, safe mode with networking, last known success.... I try all the options and only had success when I rebooted in safe mode. After I got there is asked if I wanted to go back to the last configuration which I tried three different dates without an success. I tried to just restart the computer when it was in safe mode but I got the same error message. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to try?

When in safe mode, what do you mean by last configuration? Do you mean system restore? Is restoring the computer to and earlier date not working?
-
When in Safe Mode, try turning off re-start on error: Start>Control Panel>System>Advanced>Startup and Recovery, click 'Settings', under 'System Failure,' deselect 'Automatic ReStart.'
Re-boot, if blue screen, copy the exact error message and post back.

if safe mode was the only option that worked what was the exact message you got after it booted, and what happend when you tried any other boot options
