Yup. There's an option in Windows that makes your computer automatically reboot every time there's an error. It's really stupid. To disable it, right-click on My Computer (icon on the desktop) and go to Properties. From there, go to the Advanced tab, then the Settings button under Startup and Recovery. Uncheck "Automatically restart". Enjoy your stay with Windows

my roommates laptop used to do this.
all it took was a can of compressed air to clear out the dust in the vents, it still overheats like crazy but it doesnt shutdown anymore
