Blue Screen

In the middle of the house search, I got a blue screen on my home laptop. I have yet to figure out how to turn the thing on properly so I can retrieve my personal files. I almost wish I hadn't deleted IT Guy's number from my mobile. I'd have no shame in calling him. I know, wrong, wrong, wrong! But I just can't bring myself to pay to get the darn thing fixed when I'll be purchasing a new laptop shortly.
