BSOD = Blue Screen of Death. With that box checked, the computer will restart and you dont get the chance to see the errors. Ideal for a server that has to be up as much as possible, not so good for the machine your trying to diagnose. Leave the box unchecked, and when it crashes you should get the blue screen - copy down the error messages given.

@Bung: I found something called eventlog.dll, but when I tried opening it in Notepad, I only got gibberish.

Control panel, administration tools, event viewer. Look for events in the system log at about the time of the crashes.
