Re: Blue Screen Of Death!

No, no one does.

You do not give any info about the error message or any details about your
computer. The first step is to be able to see the error info on the BSOD.
To stop the computer from automatically restarting so you can read the BSOD:

Hold down the Windows Key and press Pause/Break to open the System page.
In the left panel click on Advanced System Settings.
On the System Properties page choose the Advanced Tab.
Click on the Startup and Recovery button.
Uncheck Automatically Restart.
(Ok your way out of the screens)

Return here with info from the BSOD the next time the problem happens. The
crash data is also being saved to a dump file on your system which you will
transmit to MS in a bug report but you can't do anything with it yourself.

Re: Blue Screen Of Death!

As Colin pointed out, you have not pasted enough info about your crash so
there's little if not nothing that other ppl can help you with. Please note
that most of the BSOD are caused by a badly made device driver. Please make
sure you're using the newest drivers or the ones specifically designed for
Vista.
