Googling for "OS X blue screen at startup" led me to this Apple knowledgebase article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464 I hope that this gives you some ideas. > uhm reinstall??? 10.4 wll work too A reinstall is almost never necessary with OS X. It's not like windows in this respect and is not as fragile. Hopefully the troubleshooting tips will help. FWIW, if this were an older install (i.e. not fresh) I would think about whether you have any start-up items present. In this case, a virgin install should have none.
