Hey I have a great idea. Let's ignore Step in this obviosuly Windows related post since he rarely gives advice without condescending overtones hinting towards how overly-awesome Apple products are compared to Microsoft ones. Now, tell me what the blue screen of death says, since all anyone ever does in this forum is use Google and tell you what you can find out for yourself.I'll be more than happy to regurgitate my search results for you!

I would LOVE to tell you what it says, the thing is it shows up for about half a second and then reboots my system. All i notice is there is a bunch of works on it. Thats all it allows me to see.

I tried the install again and this time the blue screen doesnt appear. My computer just stops in the middle of the install and then reboots itself. No blue screen or anything. Just reboots it self.

I have a 360 and im debating just buying that version and giving the PC version to my dad, because chances are his computer is fine while mine is apparently screwed up.

Go to the properties of My Computer -> Advanced -> Startup and Recovery -> Settings and at system failure dont let it say Automatically Restart. Tell us the problem then.
