Blue screen on my laptop, circle cursor just keeps spinning.

The windows files are corrupted or the hard drive has issues, load cd installation disc if available, if that fails have the hardware checked for possible replacement.

That blinking cursor is the way in which the BIOS is telling you that Windows is missing - its most critical, core files have been corrupted beyond repair. The only thing you can do is to reinstall using the recovery cd or your own Windows install disk.

known as the "Blue screen of death" in some circles

Press F7 while windows statrs and boot the system wih safe mode check whether you are getting blue screen.if you are not getting blue screen, Then the problem was due to improper driver installed for any device. Uninstall the same in safe mode.

Is it a blue screen with the circle of death? Did you just install leopard???? Then check this out: Leopard Blue Screen of Death.

Check out this apple support article: Leopard Blue Screen of Death!

So.. you can select safe mode? Or you turn it on and it is resuming into the blank screen?

If the latter. Unplug the power, pull the battery out for 20 seconds or so. Then put it all back together and try booting up.

Ok.....

1. Make sure ALL user accounts are logged off!!!
2. UPDATE ALL DRIVERS
3. Check to see how many Programs are running while attempting to Shutdown the PC..(the more programs it tries to close, the longer it can take...(ESPECIALLY WITH LOW AMOUNT OF RAM/SLOWER RAM)

try installing an updated driver for your webcam and updated driver for the video card for your laptop. go to driverguide.com and register then search for drivers. or you can go to the manufacturers website of your laptop and search for the software drivers.
