Non-computer-savvy Mom Help Please

[realblondesherr]

45 year old NON-tech-savvy Mom trying to help 23 year old college aged son.  His computer is definitely under attack and it's MID TERMS WEEK   He was in class today and his whole computer blue screened and then would not turn back on......No kidding, but all I (the Mom) did, was gently turn the computer on it's side, just to look at the bottom to see if something could be loose or the battery not seated properly and the computer CAME BACK ON.....I know it's on it's last leg, but my son is in his FINAL semester, of his FIFTH year of college!  We just have a few weeks to get through, then HE can buy his own computer lolll  I don't know how to add, make or attach the "logs" you guys talk about, but here's the error cut and paste from the "info" I get.  Bear with me....I am old fart.
