Right click My Computer, select Properties. Click on the Advanced tab, and then on the Settings button under the Startup and Recovery section. Untick Automatically Restart under system failure. Click OK on both dialogs.
Next time it BSOD's it will just sit there on the blue screen until you manually turn the power off with the power switch. Plenty of time to write down what it says. To change it back simply retick the box later.
In the meantime, I would suggest updating your chipset drivers. Either visit the motherboard manufacturers website to get updated drivers, or the chipset manufacturers site.
Common chipset manufacturers;
