Computer keeps shutting down

[Guest]

I have a Toshiba laptop and just recently in the past 4 days or so my
computer has been shutting down for now reason. I can be doing any number of
things when the screen flickers to a blue screen with blurry large text in
the backround and immediatly restarts itself. There is no warning before this
happens and the screen does not stay up long enough for me to read anything
that it says. After starting up again I get a message saying windows survived
some error and the report from the microsoft website says that it was caused
by a driver failure. I have no idea which one or how I can find out, or how
to update what I need. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

If you can't read the Blue Screen, right click on My Computer, select
Properties and then the Advanced tab. Click on Settings under Startup and
Recovery and disable 'Automatically restart'. Next time your PC reboots,
you should see a Blue Screen. Could you please post the Stop Code that
accompanies that BSOD back here?

I just bought a new E-machine it has a celleron D 330 processor, 120 gig
hard drive, 256 megs ram, 533 MHz fsb. I recently added another 516 meg ram
card,
and my cd burner from my other computer, now my computer keeps shutting
down, at first it freezes and I can still use the mouse, then it eaither
blacks out and comes up like its in safe mode but a lot lager, and distorted,
so you cant see what the error message says, Its hard to tell where to click
restart on the screen, or it just restarts automaticaly. After restarting it
gives me the error message, and would I like to send a report, I click yes
and it takes me to a page that says I have had a driver failure, but it cant
tell me exactly which driver, then it suggests restoring my system to a
safepoint, as far as I can tell my computer restores itself as problems
occur. So its been doing this about a week now, which is a good while after I
put my new hardware in, so any suggestions would be apreciated.

ok, I did the windows + r, verifier, cheched all the drivers not made by
microsoft, restarted my PC, nothing happened except now its running really
slow, but I did manage to copy this error message (which is different than
usual)
