You should be able to choose another option that says:
Disable Automatic Restart on System Failure.
If you choose this option you should boot up as normal and then get a blue screen with an error message like this:
STOP 0x00000074 (0x00000003, 0x00000002, 0x80087000)
If you post that error code here, we can help you further.
