Please post a copy of the Stop Error Report.
Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.
Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure even after you have
solved the problem as it's better disabled. Check for variants of the
Stop Error message.
An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select
option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.
If you are using a wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work
substitute a wired keyboard and mouse for this exercise only.

Hope this helps.

So my computer has been crashing (mostly the blue screen of death, but
sometimes just a complete turn off), usually when Im playing a game.
My problem is, I got this computer second hand and I don't have the
Windows OS installation disk. Is there a way to either make a disc of
the OS using a program or to recover the key from somewhere within,
like the registry?
Also, any help on ways to fix this crashing issue. I haven't been
able to determine if it's a hardware or software issue.
