Windows shuts down almost every night with this error: The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.How do I go about solving this problem?

:)

 

Computer is rebooting itself.

Yeah, automatic updates is turned off, and event viewer says something about Windows not shutting down correctly. There's no BSOD, or there would be a window on the desktop saying there was a BSOD and giving me the error code and such. It seems to just reboot itself. I've never seen it do it while I was using it, though.
