OK,
Start HERE and check to see if this will help.
Also getting the error would be good, a picture would be great.

I can never see what the screen says because it flashes the BSoD and then restarts.

How would I update my bios?

I went to the Compaq hardware/software update and there was no bios update.

what model number ?

ETA
I found THIS at the Compaq/HP site. This should get you going if it is a newer laptop. If it is older might have to dig a bit as compaw was bought out by HP awhile back
