The dreaded blue screen of death

I need some help troubleshooting my PC.

I have been offline for almost seven months now and today I got some cable broadband. The first thing I did was download quite a few upgrades for windows. The d/l and install completed and I was told to reboot. On the restart everything went smooth until the desktop is supposed to pop up and blam.... blue screen. I killed the power and tried to boot up again and it made it all the way through to the scandisk and blam... blue screen. I tried booting up in safe mode to no avail. I tried reverting to the last known good setting and had no luck. I tried cancelling scandisk and that didnt work either.

About two weeks ago I purchased a 128Mb graphics card and I thought it may be taxing my 450Mhz P3 so I put the old graphics card in and that didnt help either.

Can anyone offer any suggestions? Im running Win 2000 Pro. My next option involves a hammer and a blow torch unless someone can help.
