First, if your not getting a "blue screen of death" or it doesn't stay up long enough, turn off Automatic Restart. To do this, right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced tab > under Startup and Recovery, click Settings > uncheck Automatically Restart.

Okay now when it crashes, you should get the "blue screen of death". Toward the bottom it should say the file name thats causing the problem. In my case it was "Viahduaa.sys". Google the file to find out what it correlates to, in my case it was my "VIA High Definition Audio", and download the latest driver for it.

Hope this fixes your problem!!

Right here
VIA Arena - Drivers Section

Be sure you download the right one though or your audio won't work.

And if you have trouble installing the codec like I did, just let me know.

What type of motherboard and/or sound card do you have?
You can try the one I used, VIA Arena - Display Drivers

If it doesn't work, and you lose your sound, you can just roll back the driver to the previous one no problem.
Right click My Computer > Manage > Device Manager > Sound, Video, and Game controllers > VIA High Definition Audio > Driver > Roll Back Driver
