Mid-April, my computer began doing the dreaded blue screen roughly 10 minutes after turning it on.

Your hard drive could be failing. How old is the machine?
I got it in December of 2005.3 and a half years. Still, some hard drives fail after a week and some are still going after 10 years. You should back up all of your important data.

1. RUN hard drive diagnostics: http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287

I am unable to run the diagnostics as it gives me an error:
