Right click My Computer, go to Properties. Click on the Advanced tab, then Settings under Startup and Recovery. Uncheck "Automatically restart".

Post back the BSOD error code.

Oh, and if you haven't done it in a while, a lot of people don't so don't feel bad...but get a can of compressed air, open that puppy up and give it a good cleaning out. Heat will cause random restarts.

I hope all those fans are running now! Heat can/may fry your chip. Any fan not running needs to be replaced ASAP.
