Well, i've had several BSOD in the last couples of months. Changed the MB and it seemed more stable. After that i had several more, regarding a Realtek audio driver, which, with a proper update, was fixed. Stability was paradise, up until now...
My specs:
Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H, AMD690g Chipset
DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2 +4400@2305
1GB DDR2 800 Patriot x2/512
ATI Radeon HD 2600xt 256mb
Thermaltake PurePower ATX 12v 2.0 460w
OS:
Windows XP Professional SP2 (up to date)
Drivers:
All up to date
Anyway, i was playing Gears of War and when trying to quit the game, the PC BSOD'd with the following:

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except,
it must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or it
is pointing at freed memory.
Arguments:
Arg1: e1d0c304, memory referenced.
Arg2: 00000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.
Arg3: bf8afed3, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory
address.
Arg4: 00000001, (reserved)
