Basically the Microsoft article told you to go to:

Star Button > Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab >
Startup and Recovery section > Settings Button >
Uncheck the Automatically Restart check box
and check the Write an event to the system log box

Now when you see the BSOD write down the error code and post it back here
This way we can trace down this error that is causing the restart.

The dxdiag.exe is the DirectX Diagnostic Tool
what version of Direct X are you running?

Have you tried to go into your BIOS and make sure its set to allow the OS to turn off the PC?

This is a task for those not faint of heart. If you dont know how to get into your BIOS, perhaps its best to leave this as it is.
