Well I have done this in the past and phoned them and explained that I
converted this PC to a VM and that the OLD PC will not go love again.
They did not have a problem with that and helped me all ok.

About the Blue screen- This might be a HDD problem, I have seen these
a few times and successfully fixed it with Spin Right.
Have a look at www.grc.com, I have bought this app and DID fix a few
HDD with it in the past, If you do not want to buy a copy I could have
a look for you (not sure if your boss would like a 3rd party to look
at his laptop/HDD though)
