This problem was happening to me. This is the solution!
Blue Screen errors (also sometimes called black screen errors or STOP code errors) can occur if a serious problem causes Windows to shut down or restart unexpectedly. You might see a message that says, "Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer."
These errors can be caused by both hardware and software problems. If you added new hardware to your PC before the Blue Screen error, shut down your PC, remove the hardware, and try rebooting. You can also try the following:
Get all the latest updates with Windows Update.
Get help from other sources.
Try restoring Windows back to an earlier point in time.

Click the Start button Picture of the Start button, click All Programs, and then click Windows Update.

Tap or click Update and recovery, and then tap or click Windows Update.
Tap or click Check now, and then wait while Windows looks for the latest updates for your PC.
