I have a PC used specifically for children's games like Lego Batman, Star Wars, etc. No Internet connections, no printers, this is an isolated Compaq that is about 2 years old. A recent game install resulted in automatic reboots.
The display I get once the system reboots is :
Problem signature
Problem Event Name BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.2
Locale ID: 1033

I'm attaching the referenced minidump. Any direction you can provide will be a help. Thanks.

Hello,
This new game install may not be compatable with vista, or is conflicting with a driver (video card, sound card, ETc...)
You can press F8 when you first start the machine (press it several times) and boot in to safe mode.
Once in to safe mode you can uninstall the game.
If this solves your issue then you know that the game is at fault.
I am suprised that you did not get any error messeges when you installed the game, so it may be that it is not compatable with your hardware.

Thanks for the response hfcg, I had removed the program in safe mode earlier. What I decided to do was remove the Lego Batman game with the idea of re-installing it. I cannot remove LB in safe mode so I used normal mode and as the uninstall was running, the PC rebooted (rats). The resulting event errors are as follows:
- - - - - - -

Can you go back in to safe mode and do a system restore to a point about one month ago?
