We're going to need more details to make accurate assumptions as to what's going on.
This can be caused by numerous things. Bad drivers and hardware mainly. Whenever I get a problem in Windows a reboot doesn't fix much, you need to fully power down the system to clear the memory modules AFAIK. If you have multiple memory modules you could try booting with only 1 of them (swap between each) to check if ones defective, same goes for multiple hard disks. We'll need more information to be sure though. | |||

Sometimes the BSOD screen displays the name of a DLL file. That is a good place to start - often a newly installed program or driver causes the problem. If no DLL name is present, try checking your hardware as John T suggested. | |||||
