You need to turn off auto restart under system recovery properties.

Open system properties using the windows key and pause break. Choose "Advanced" and then Start up and Recovery settings. Now uncheck the box "Automatically Restart.", and click OK twice.

Now every time your PC crashes, it will revert back to the familiar BSOD, and give you a proper error message that you can use to troubleshoot your system. Write down the error msg, and plug it into the MS Knowledge Base and it should tell you what the problem is.
