what method are you using to shut down the computer? if you keep your finger pressed down on the start-up button for at least 5 seconds then this should shut down the computer.

^ That's not the way you SHOULD shut down your computer.

control panel-->system-->advanced tab-->settings button for startup and recovery--> uncheck the box to automatically restart under system failure.

That will allow you to see the BSOD before it restarts your PC. Look at the message with the underscores.
