Note that while you should stop the Automatic Reboot as suggested by the
previous poster, this won't solve the issue. What it will do is give
you the Blue Screen with the Stop Error. Write down the error message
and either Google it or post the Stop Error number here for more help.
Here are some MS links to help, too:
