Hi & welcome

It will blue screen for lots of reasons, normally you will get some error codes on the screen as well, these would be helpful in determining what has happened.

BSOD = blue screen of death.

You'll need to let us know what the error says like Waynos said

You should have a blue screen with white writing on it??

If not then something has gone seriously wrong and its more than likely a hardware failure than just a fault.
