BSOD: Plug and Play detected an error most likely caused by a faulty driver

I'm running on Windows Vista-Home Basic. I don't know what happened but this morning when I turned on my Dell Inspiron 1420 Laptop, the blue screen of death appeared saying that "Plug and Play detected an error most likely caused by a faulty driver"..It also instructed me to "Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing" but I don't know how to do that since it doesn't show on my BIOS settings. Also, the message suggests that I go on to Safe Mode but everytime I try to go on Safe Mode, the Blue Screen of Death just keeps re-appearing, so I can't go on to Safe Mode either. And another weird thing is that when I press F8 (the key to press for advance startup options) I get to select an operating system to start: Microsoft Windows XP Embedded which is weird because like I said, my OS is Windows Vista and I don't have any other OS installed in my laptop. How can I solve this problem??

 

It's your laptop, you've always owned it, it's not been purchased second hand or???

Where did you get the load of vista you are running? Dell says that the 1420 came with vista home premium.
