Hello sikhkd =)

Right click My Computer>Properties>Advanced>Startup and Recovery Settings and uncheck Automatically Restart.
Now you should be able to look at the BSOD :)

From the name of minidump Mini112304-04.dmp, your PC crashed four times on 23rd Nov. Can you check the system event 1001 and confirm the bugcheck code is 0x00000080.

Check system event log and look system event 1001.
Control Panel --> Adminstrative Tools -> Event Viewer --> System --> Event 1001
or You can attach the minidump at any webspace and I will study the minidump and find out the culprit.
