Blue screen error! Can't even start my laptop?

The code says: STOP 0x00000073 (0x00000001, 0xC000017D, 0x00000002, 0xF6BE0BB8)

All the instructions for recovery require the laptop to start but as soon as it starts the bluescreen error appears and it shuts down then restarts again and again.

Even the safe mode doesn't work, it hangs for about a minute and then shows the BS error and bam! Shut down again, restart. The last restoration checkpoint also doesn't work.

I have windows XP 32-bit on a lenovo. I don't have the OS recovery CD. What can I do to just start my computer? I don't care about saving the data.

1) Scan the hard drive with SeaTools for DOS.
2) Scan the ram with Memtest86+.
3) Clean the heatsink which is probably clogged with dust.
4) If you don't care about the data, and if you don't have Windows specific sw that you must use, try Linux Mint 17 Xfce which is far more stable and less virus prone.

Probably hard -drive failure.Might also be your boot up settings or options.
