I would bet money that video diver is at fault. To confirm r-click "My Computer", Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery - Settings, System Failure, clear "Automaticall Restart" and make sure "Write an event .." is checked. Next time you get BSOD write down numeric code (for example 0x00000007e) and four numbers after it and then do some searching at support.microsoft.com.
