It's a different error code from the one I got before he worked on it, but I need my computer for this semester and can't really afford to plunk down on a new one, can anyone help? For the last week, it's been turning on after I try system restore (restores to an old point) or just randomly retrying but it seems stuck in a loop

Sorry if the pics sideways

It would maybe help if you included the entire screen in your picture.

As far as i was able to dig up on the error, the causes are as follow:
1394 device, disable in bios if possible
Ram speeds, lower them by one step if possible (ie 1600 -> 1333)
Video driver possible conflict, uninstall current one and install a slightly older one.
There are more fixes associated with this bsod, but these three are the most common as far as i can see, otherwise just google 0x0000003B error symptoms.

When it boots up, press I think either F9, F12, or F1/2/3. I forgot which one, and choose to load up in a different mode. Load it using command prompt and it'll work fine.
