You want to boot into your Bootable USB Flash Drive with Windows on it.
Use F12 (normally) to get into Boot Options and Boot into Windows Bootable USB Storage Device
The key could also be F2

We follow a few steps to try to fix the Blue Screen of Death
1) We try Startup Repair (if this works, you're done)
2) If Startup Repair does not work, then you should try System Restore
(System Restore does not affect files or documents) (However, it may uninstall programs up to that point)
Trial and error, you try a restore point, and you should be back in business.
