When it's booting keep hitting F8 until you come up to the Windows Startup Menu. Select the option that says "Disable Automatic Restart on system error" This will show you the Blue Screen error. You can then take that information from the Blue Screen, research it, and find the culprit. You could also try Last Known Good Configuration from that screen.
USAF is on the right path for the basic troubleshooting. What's changed in it?
