computer fault

hey i've a little problem with my computer. on turning it on, i get a
black screen asking if i want to open it in safe mode or normal mode
because it wasn't closed down right and whichever you click, a blue
screen pops up. on the blue screen it has some technical information
that i don't understand - ***STOP: 0x000000ED (0x80EF5E30, 0x0000032,
0x00000000, 0x00000000)

i was wondering if anyoner here couldn't help me trying to figure out
what is wrong with it, please? My mother is thinking of giving it to a
guy who says its a harddrive problem and that it has to be wiped clean
which means losing all my work over the last 3years. and don't say it
i know i should have backed them up.

I would really appreciate a hand here,

all thanks... kerry gall
