This typically points to either a hardware or driver issue. You might
find additional information in the event viewer (control panel,
adminstrative tools, event viewer). Look for errors with event id 1001
or 1002.

Many of the reports about BCcode seem to be from ATI video card users. Is
your video card an ATI brand? See http://support.microsoft.com/?id=318023.
If so, have you tried downloading and installing the latest Catalyst
drivers? By the way, NEVER install hard drivers offered by Windows Update.
Instead use the prompting to send you off to the hardware maker's web site
to get THEIR driver.

Maybe you got infected. See http://support.microsoft.com/?id=894278. If
that's the case, how you fix it depends on your level of expertise regarding
the OS and rootkit tools.
