Use Control Panel / System / Advanced / Startup and Recovery to make sure that
the stop is being recorded in the Event log.

Next time you get a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death), post the
Stop message, like:

*** STOP: 0x0000001E (0x0xc0000005, 0x0xbfb235f3, 0x0x00000000, 0x0x0000002c)
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

Then we can help you.

This usually happens when you dont have enough physical
memory (RAM). You can try starting in safemode (By
pressing F8 just as windows starts to load). This will
get you into the Operating System, and allow you to check
your startup files and processes. Too many processes
attempting to execute on startup could be causing trouble.
