See the responses from Jasper.
Also, if you have not, please use the same name on each post, it is getting
confusing. I don't know if I am talking to Scott or smulnatick or the same
person.
You are experiencing a blue screen on bootup and the system is set to
automatically reboot on error. This needs to be turned off.
If you ever get into safe mode turn off the auto restart.
To disable the automatic restart, System>Advanced>Startup and
Recovery>Settings and under System Failure uncheck "Automatically Restart".
If you get the automatic restart set properly and get a stop code go here to
find out more information

If the Stop Error mentions a file, then this could be a driver issue.
