A lot of the time this is caused by bad hardware (or bad drivers).

 

I suggest that you progressively disable and/or remove all devices from your PC until you stop getting these errors. When they stop, the last thing you disabled/removed is probably the cause.

 

Make sure that all of your drivers are up-to-date and that your BIOS settings are sane.

thats possible, but from my experience with the BSOD, it is almost irreplaceable. the only thing that boots up is whatever is in the bootlog file. so if you installed a device, most likely that isnt it. what i would do if you can is re-install your windows opperating system.
