My first step would be to clean out any dust with a can of compressed air,

Next would be install a temp monitor for windows . See how hot it is running.

I think CPUZ is one maybe.

If you know nothing about Linux, take some time to get familiarized with these courses.

Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

Click the Advanced tab.

Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.

Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.

Restart your computer for the settings to take effect. When it's suppose to reboot it should give her a BSOD, that should give some clue whats wrong.
