    Could be a few things... over-heating or a virus would be my first suspects..

    Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab > Startup and Recovery > Untick 'Automatically Restart'
    Maybe you can get some idea from the BSOD as to what is causing your problem.

    A fair proportion of blue screens and random restarts are due to bad RAM, but if it's displaying a message before it chucks you out of windows, then i'd say this was more improbable. What are the temperatures doing?
