HAL is part of Windows, calling the driver.

Here is an article containing an expanation of HAL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows_library_files

From the article:
Kernel mode device drivers for devices on buses such as PCI and PCI Express directly call routines in the HAL to access I/O ports and registers of their devices.

Graphics cards and other add-in cards are PCI-E.
Features on the motherboard are often implemented on PCI-E as well.
Just upgrade all your drivers.

You can download windbg from Microsoft to open this file.
Chances are there won't be much of use to you there.
Check you have the latest drivers for your motherboard, graphics card and sound card if you have one.
It is difficult these days for an application to cause a blue screen, it is usually a bad driver or an attempt to use a boot switch in windows like /3GB.
