Dont know if this is the right forum for this but if there is any computer geek out there that could help me with these blue screens.
Ive looked in the Event viewer but dont know what to look for.
Funny thing that i got maybe a month left on my payment on the computer and it's dying now!

What's the error message? BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) appears because several reasons... you need to take a note about the error message.

That message is like 1-2 sec then the computer reboots. Is it possible to see it in the event viewer?

Get a bsod viewer utility. It will debug the minidump created when the blue screen happens. http://majorgeeks.com/BlueScreenView_d6200.html
Generally bsods are caused by a bad driver. I've never used this utility since I have a mac, but it seems like it could help you out. Also I would suggest trying to do a factory restore to see if it helps. Have you added any new hardware to the computer?

I had similar problems just a while ago - BSOD and sometimes just total lock-up. I used a program called WhoCrashed and it pointed the problem was in the graphics card driver. I've had the same driver for years. Later I figured out the problem was with the power supply and buying a new one solved
