It is a programme or a piece of hardware that is not behaving itself. You should find a logfile in the C: directory that gives some information.

the problem might be you either have a virus on your pc that is spreading on your pc or you hae a missing driver on your pc or might be you installed something and something has gone missing off your pc causing the pc to have a blue screen come up then rebooting itself i have never had this problem before but i would suggest it could be one of the reasons i have just mentioned

If you press f8 during start up, you can disable the automatic reboot on error.

This will allow you to read the blue screen error.

9 time out of 10 i have found that it is the RAM, it may have ESD from dust or from removal(people that do not get rid of all there static electricity before they touch hardware)

Right Click on "My Computer" and select "Properties"
Click "Advanced" tab.
In "Startup and Recovery" section, click on "Settings"
In "System Failure" section, untick box next to "Automatically restart"
Click "OK" twice
