Right click My Computer | Properties | Advanced tab |
Click the Settings button under Startup and Recovery |

Click OK | Click Apply | Click OK

[[Specifies whether Windows will automatically reboot whenever the system
stops unexpectedly.
You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to set
recovery options.]]
