How long have you had your laptop? When did it start acting up? The sort of problems that lead to recalls tend to show up in the first few months of use -- your problem may be nothing worse than a corrupted OS or bad hard drive.

First thing I'd try is reloading the OS. Find the install disc that came with the laptop -- or google instructions on making one -- and reinstall. Accept all the options for formatting.

If that doesn't fix things, and you have a USB stick, you can try running your laptop off the USB. Not as a long-term solution, but to figure out if all you need is a new hard drive. Google "OS on USB" for options to test with. If it runs, even if very slowly, without crashing then you can start googling for instructions on replacing the hard drive. And for deals on hard drives, of course.

had it for almost 4 years now, and it's always acted up in the sense that it's always had little quirks, like starting up without the sound drive working and requiring a restart to fix it, etc. these were earlier problems that were all fixable with a reboot. it's been about 2 years that i've had BSOD issues specifically. the beginning of this year was pretty bad, but over the summer it was a little better. the last month has been the worst ever though.

i have no clue where the OS disk is, i've been trying to find it for a few months, but i'll keep looking. it's my best bet, i think.

thanks for the flash drive suggestion, didn't even think of that. that'll be a good way to determine if it's the hard drive i need to replace.
