The text on the Blue Screen of Death lists the files involved in the crash including any drivers that may have been at fault and a short, usually cryptic, description of what to do about the problem.
Most importantly, the BSOD includes a STOP code that can be used to troubleshoot this specific STOP error. I keep a complete list of STOP codes that you can reference for more information.
If you can't find the STOP code or are looking for some general troubleshooting information, see my How To Fix a Blue Screen of Death.
Important: By default, most Windows installations are programmed to automatically restart after a BSOD which makes reading the STOP error code nearly impossible.
Before you can do any troubleshooting you'll need to prevent this automatic reboot by disabling the automatic restart on system failure option in Windows.
It's rumored that the Blue Screen of Death will become the Black Screen of Death beginning in the not-yet-released Windows 8.
