Fortunately, my computer turned on a few hours ago, and I (hopefully) removed the source(s) of the problem. I haven't gotten the BSOD since then, and hopefully I will not get it again for a long time. But why was my computer reluctant to boot after the BSOD? I used a 2003 desktop for almost 7 years, and no matter how many times I got the BSOD, that system always rebooted without a hitch. I feel like computers of today are more "fussy" and/or "moody" than before...
