So that's atleast one less cause.
AMD... is it an asus motherboard? if so, see these: http://flac.sourceforge.net/faq.html#tools__hardware_prob http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1304325&group_id=13478&atid=113478 granted yours is a BSOD which is a little different but might have the same cause.

Maybe it's a good idea to > update flac.sf.net? yeah, that's annoying... there's no way to shut down a list on sourceforge though, at least not the last time I tried.
