Try disabling the automatic restart on system failure:
Click Start, then Run and type:
wmic recoveros set AutoReboot = False
This should stop on the BSOD.
Then tell us what driver is causing this.

I had this same error last week. Talked to one of my buddies and told me to reformat the comp. You have to delete the partiton windows is on and then remake the partiton. Its a registry error if I remeber right
