Probably best to go into safe mode at first on start up keep pressing F8 on/off/on/off etc until black screen with white writing appears and u get several option to choose from - use top one safe mode and once in there try to find which program is causing fault. You should be able to run anti virus and adaware and spyware detection software also - will do a better search cause less drivers running. when finished just restart and see if u fixed it cheers

You can go into settings in windows itself and stop it from rebooting.
Go into performace and maintanence, click on system, then click on the advanced tab. then click on performance. click the data execution prevention tab, then turn off DEP, or if it doesnt have that option, select not to DEP the specific program that has been shutting down your computer. it should say on the DEP countdown when it restarts.
If you cannot, go back into system, click startup and recovery, and unclick "automatically restart"

Do this afterwards.
Go into the start menu and click on run. type in "regedit".
Click on HKEY LOCAL MACHINE. Then click SOFTWARE. Then click MICROSOFT. Then click WINDOWS. Then CurrentVersion. Then click RUN. DELETE EVERYTHING IN THIS FOLDER. Go back into REGEDIT and do the same thing, but substitute HKEY CURRENT USER for HKEY LOCAL MACHINE. it will stop some nasty viruses from starting again, and it will get rid of loads of crap.

Then get out the antivirus.

Good luck
