I have a MacBook 2007. Sometime, not always I try to open the windows system to do some CAD. Often it appears that everything is fine and the I will be able to use my windows,but a blue screen with some information pops up and the computer immediately restarts. This can go on for 5 or more times as I continue to try to open WIndows. What is going on?

Common Windows problems. Reformat is the only answer.

Sounds like a Is it running Windows on a VM or bootcamp?

There is a program called Winclone http://twocanoes.com/winclone/which will let you clone the bootcamp partition. Then you can either restore from the image made with Winclone or reformat and reinstall Windows on the bootcamp partition then transfer your data back from the disk image. But first off I would try making an image with Winclone, recreating the bootcamp partition and restoring the image to see what happens.
