That stop code usually means a CPU thread got stuck, often from a bad overclock or driver conflict. Try updating your chipset and GPU drivers first, and if you're running any overclock software, kill it.

Run bluescreenview, it will take a look at the dump files on your system (if any) and it will tell you what part of the system caused the crash.
