Go to the BIOS Setup and disable APM support.

You have something that is crashing on being asked to close - and the
system's 'automatically restart' is cutting in. Turn this off: in
Control Panel - System - Advanced, click Settings in the Startup and
Recovery section. There uncheck 'automatically restart'. You can also
usefully change the 'write debugging information' to (none) unless you
are actively needing a dump for debugging something, or to 'minidump' if
you are getting errors that you wish to report on to Microsoft. You
may now get a Blue screen failure instead, but at least will get some
guidance as to what is happening
