Sony Vaio laptop crashed. need help

I bought a sony vaio laptop a little over 2 years ago. I never had a problem untill about 4 monthes ago. I got the "blue screen of death". It said something about the BIOS but would never stay on long enough for me to totaly read it. I went to Best Buy and asked if they had any ideas. The guy said to contact Sony and get a recovery disk, so i did. I ran the cd but half way through it I got another blue screen that read:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time youve seen this stop error screen, follow these steps:
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message,
disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates.
Try changing video adapters.
check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press f8 to select advanced startup
options, and then select safe mode.
So I thought I would try running it safe mode to see if I could remove or disable any components but now all im getting is a black screen. This is where im stuck. I am so frustrated and out of ideas I will take any advice.
Thanks

 

I'm wondering if it's a memory related issue. If you have two DIMMs, try one at a time and see if it's okay.

 

Post the code from the stop screen. It can help decipher the problem.
