Open Control Panel - System - Advanced and click on the Settings
button in the Startup and Recovery (bottom) section.
In the Startup and Recovery window first look at the checkbox for
"Automatically restart". If that is selected then click on it once
to clear it. If it is clear leave it that way.
Next click on the drop down menu under the "Write debugging
information" heading and change the selected memory dump option to
(none).
Note that turning off the memory dumps will not do anything about
fixing the actual problem that was causing a memory dump to be
created. However getting rid of the automatic restarts may help in
this regard, at least to the extent of producing a visible error
message (Blue Screen Of Death). If that does happen then the contents
of the BSOD will provide a direct clue as to the nature and cause of
the problem. Post the BSOD information back here, including the STOP
code, all 4 parameters, and any file or module names mentioned.
Good luck
