Notebook computer problem

[flameace]

So this morning I turned on my ASUS brand notebook computer, and it seemed to be working as usual. But then I noticed that it was rebooting itself on it's own; and before it rebooted itself, I saw THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!! for a split second. It said something about protecting my computer from serious damage and it was blue etc. so I assume that's what it was.

I turned off by holding down on the power button, and after shutting it off and un-plugging it a couple of times I got it to work (in fact I'm using it right now....), but I'm afraid to turn it off knowing that the same thing will probably happen.

I really don't know what the problem is. It worked fine last night. Does anyone here have an idea on what I could do to fix my notebook, or at least a way to find out what's causing this strange behaviour?

*My anti-virus program, The Shield Deluxe 2009, picked up some viruses yesterday and I thought they had been taken care of. Oddly, The Shield Deluxe is acting up too...there's a 'critical issue' saying that I have never scanned for malware (I have) and everytime I click 'fix this issue' nothing happens. Maybe this has something to do with whatever is wrong?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Before the windows boot screen comes up, tap F8 and select "Disable automatic reboot upon system failure" and when the BSoD comes up again, report back with the error code.

you can also try rebuilding the boot.ini file. use your xp or vista cd and boot from it. go through the steps to the command prompt. sometimes it does corrupt, especially if you give you laptop a hard shutdown. no biggy its fixable.
