You are presumably blue-screening, and you are set to reboot
whenever that happens. Right-click My Computer, and choose
Properties. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and
Recovery. Under System failure, uncheck the box "Automatically
restart."

Now when the problem occurs again, instaed of blue-screening, you
will get the blue screen with diagnostic information. Post back
with those details for more help.

You can't. You'll need to buy an English version.
