Click on Start > Control Panel and double click on System. If you can't see System, switch to Classic View.
Select the Advanced tab.
Under Startup and Recovery, click on the Settings button. A new window will open.
In the new window, look under System Failure section. Untick the Automatically restart box and click OK all the way to apply the settings.

When the blue screen of death of occurs, post the following details:

The STOP error. Referring to this picture, under Technical Information section, you see this: STOP: 0x00000050 (0xFD3094C2, 0x00000001, 0xFBFE7617, 0x00000000). That is the STOP error. Please post this STOP error.
Type of error. Referring to the same, you see this: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. This is the type of error. Post this as well.
File. If Windows runs into a problem with a file, it will say so. In that particular picture, that file was SPCMDCON.SYS. If yours have a file listed as well, please post it.
What were doing with the computer when the error occurs. For example, you were playing a game when it starts.
Any newly installed and/or uninstalled program(s) before this blue screen of death occurs? If so, please state them.
What steps did you take to correct the error? For our sanity sake, if you have done something that we don't know, please state so. Some things can be disastrous for Windows. Like registry cleaning. If you didn't do anything to it, that's OK. Just be honest.

my best recc would be to get a desktop fan to blow directly through the side panels of the tower to cool it down. ( it works miracles!)

And get your fan fixed asap

It's probably caused by overheating. As you've said, one fan broke down. When the side panels are removed, it ran better. You'll need to another fan to cool it down.

If you are using NTFS and there's disk check and mention of corrupted files, chances are, your hard disk will go heaven.

Backup everything.

If you are using FAT32, then make sure you shut down the PC properly. 10 or more times you need disk check, Windows will corrupt beyond repair.

The disc check occurs due to improper shutting down of your computer.

There should be an option to fix bad sectors .

I am now using a different profile as i am typing this and have not encountered any restart for about 1hr... i dunno whether is it coincidence or whether it means that my other profile .. which has more programs running.. is corrupted...

Monitor for a few more days. If profile is corrupted, copy over your files and delete away that account.

1. When does it occur? After you use it for a few hours, or it happens immediately?

2. Please post your system specs.

a. Amount of RAM

b. Processor

c. Power Supply wattage rating

d. Hard disk specs - XXXX RPM (where X are numbers)

e. Type and size of monitor (LCD, flat screen, CRT, XX inch)

f. Graphics card (if any)

h. Sound card

Best is to let some shop or somebody who does computers for a living to check it out for you.
