Hello inmate #7533572 and welcome to the forums.
It is difficult to determine what could be causing the BSODs. I would first start with disabling the automatic restart on error option. This can be done from System Properties. Start>Control Panel>System>Advanced>Startup and Recovery>Settings>Uncheck "Automatically restart on error">Click OK and restart.
This will allow you to see the BSOD when it happens, rather than be prompted that there was an issue when the machine restarts. The cause is listed at the top.
Aside from that, look at a pattern. If you notice that the machine restarts when you do something specific (access an external USB drive, for example), then you can narrow many choices from there.
I would recommend clearing your startup as a test to see if, perhaps, you are overloading the memory allocation of the system. To do this: Start>Run>type MSCONFIG>OK>click the Startup tab. Note the items that are checked here, you may have to restore the checks to some items to get certain devices/software functioning properly. An example is an HP printer connected directly to the computer. The software allows it to print and without it running, the printer ceases to function. After noting those checked, click Disable All at the bottom. Click OK and restart. Use the machine normally and see if you still have the same problem. This, again, will help to lead you in the proper direction.
