know if i need to take it into the place I got it from or
I can just fix it my self?

This is usually caused by a hardware or software conflict. If you
choose to, you can track the status of problem reports uploaded to
Microsoft if you have a Microsoft Passport. Unless your computer is
failing for the same reason each time , the new memory dump
overwrites the older one. While the memory is being written to the
hard drive, you could write down the error message or if you have a
digital camera, take a picture of the screen to aid in the
correction.

If you can log in, then use the Properties of My Computer=20

Recovery button, and then uncheck the option to=20
Automatically Restart in the System Failure panel.
This will allow you to have time to look at the blue=20
stop screen which may help diagnose the cause.
Also, if it is a graceful halt the system may have had=20
time to write information into the event logs, so look=20
and see if there is any useful info there.
