Win7 Blue screen shutdown problem

[Imager]

Hey guys! Built a new PC and it's been working pretty good, but every once and a while I'll receive a blue screen and then it will do an auto restart on me. I thought I copied the error after reboot, but it didn't take. I do remember it saying there were two location areas of files that would help explain the shutdown - if anyone knows what they are I can copy and paste the info here. My new PC specs are below. Thanks as always!

Intel i5 760
G.Skill DDR3 1333 4GB x2
4 WD Green 1.5TB drives
1 Gskill SSD 60gb
GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD3 P55 1156 PIN DDR3
Win7 64bit Enterprise

-Right click my computer-mash 'properties'
-Select 'Advanced System Settings'
-Mash the 'Settings' button for the 'Startup and Recovery' section
-Uncheck 'Automatically Restart'

Wouldn't hurt to check the Event Viewer as well instead of waiting for another B S O D
-Right Click 'My Computer' and mash 'Manage'
-Expand 'Event Viewer'
-Expand 'Windows Logs'
-Prolly look under 'Application' and/or 'System' for any Red X 'Critical' or Red (!) entries. They may give a clue on what the source of your BSOD's are.

Good luck

Thanks! If I UNcheck auto restart is that going to keep the blue screen up though? I think I might rather have it reboot no?

Re-enter your product key.

Re-enter your product key.

that's what is causing the blue screen?

Wouldn't hurt. On a similar note, is your copy of Win 7 activated? Sometimes Windows can be picky about that.

As a side note, the reason while you get an automatic reboot with a BSOD, is because it usually does that. If you some sort of hardware or memory corruption problem, a BSOD appears and then your computer will restart to "clear" itself. Sort of a fresh start.

Then if the BSOD re-appears, chances are it could either be software driver-related, or something more.

Do you have the exact verbiage when a BSOD appears? That will help us track down the issue further.

Yes windows is activated. I will make sure I get the "copy" down if/when it happens again. I just happened to be at the PC and doing something when it happened this time. Unless there is another place I can look to get the verbiage now?
