it may be due to virus or because of high processing of un usual files

disconnect and reconnect all cables,Ram modules ,etc etc..usually ppl get BSOD when there is some hardware failure..

Check whether both the RAM's frequency are the same
I was getting BSOD in my old Celeron 433 as I had inserted
256 MB PC 100 SD RAM in 1 slot and 256 MB PC 133 SD RAM in the other :D

Moment I changed the PC 133 to 100, the problem got solved instantaneously

Also check for dust particles on the motherboard, heat sink and other components
If you find them, use a Vacuum Cleaner and blow the dust off in a low speed.

Find out the BSOD error number (cryptic number after STOP word)... Post it here... Then we can give better comments on source of problem...
