I'm a PC Tech who has dealt with a virus that mimics BSOD's on systems running SP3.
Technically it's a hijacked screen saver that was made by Sysinternals. so the effected system wasn't really BSOD and restarting, it was just in "a looping screen saver" that didn't respond to mouse. if it is that, then you should be able to "stop the BSOD's" by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL, (that would stop the screen saver, unless it's evolved since I last saw it)
if however it is a BSOD, and if you can use your system at least somewhat before it BSODs, you can turn off "auto restart" so it the error hangs around enough to read the error.
