Hi, My machine keeps popping up and saying that it needs to be restarted
because of a fatal error, and restarts after an elapsed time.

In the event viewer these messages are displayed.

Symbolic Name: EVENT_SAVE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT_FAILED
Message: Failed to save the system default profile to a local profile for
user %1.

Explanation
The system default profile appears when nobody is logged on. This event
record indicates that the changes that the user made to the default profile
were not saved to the local system. The user will have to use the system
default profile at the next logon session.
 
To prevent your computer from restarting do the following:
1. Open Control Panel
2. Open System.
3. Open "Advanced" tab
4. In "Startup and Recovery" section click the "Settings" button. "Startup
and Recovery" dialog window will appear.
5. In "System failure" section uncheck "Automatically restart" checkbox.

Your machine will not automatically restart anymore. Instead it will hang up
with a blue screen where you'll get more detailed information on the problem
occured.
