In the case you have not enabled the "Bluescreen" tool; Disable automatic
restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly and provide information
about "what's going on".

To do so: Right click on the
My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck the box before
Automatically Restart.

You are presumably blue-screening, and you are set to the default of
rebooting whenever that happens. Right-click My Computer, and choose
Properties. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and
Recovery. Under System failure, uncheck the box "Automatically
restart.

Now when the problem occurs again, instead of restarting, you will get
the blue screen with diagnostic information. Post back with those
details for more help.

By the way, this is very often a hardware problem (overheating, power
supply issues, or flaky RAM) rather than a Windows one.
