    The system is almost certainly getting a "Blue screen of death" fault, and is set to perform an automatic restart after such an error. Your friend needs to determine the cause of that error, but of course that's hard to do when the system reboots before you get chance to see the error. Not exactly Microsoft's finest decision to make this the default option.

    The solution is to turn off automatic restart.
    Right click on "My Computer", select properties.
    Choose the "Advanced" tab and click on the "Settings" button in the box marked "Startup and Recovery".
    Uncheck the box marked "Automatically restart" and click "OK" and "OK".

    When the system next shuts down the cause of the fault will be clearly seen. Record the details and someone can advise you how to resolve the issue. Without the information everyone is just floundering in the dark.

    Btw, all that info is at the top of the page clocker linked to, but it's easy to miss under the mass of information given there.

    I like to think of that "mass of information" as an "abundance of riches".
    It's all in how you look at it really.
