Which updates won't install? What error message do you get?

Random reboots and blue screens are usually caused by one of two things: a
bad driver, or flaky hardware.

Have you added or changed any hardware lately? Try removing the hardware.

Try removing all your unnecessary gadgets (webcam, etc) and see if that
fixes the problem.

It's possible that your RAM is defective -- try running the Windows Memory
Diagnostic Tool (search the Internet for instructions).
