There are so many problems that can cause this. It would be good to know your brand, model, and age of computer.
Likely causes: failing hard drive. Failed memory module, or simply not enough memory, bad video graphics card, bad video graphics driver, Defective CPU fan, thermal paste for heat sink-cpu connection needs replacing, defective power supply, any of a number of cables that have become brittle, crimped, or loose.
The fact that it happened in VISTA makes the video graphic drivers suspect, but your report that it now happens in WXP complicates the issue.
When you switched to WXP, did you do a reformat and reinstall, totally cleaning out the install, or did you just install it over the top.
Does this problem occur when you boot in SAFE MODE?
It will be helpful for you to tell us brand and model, and the component configuration... Memory installed, optical drive, hard drive brand, video graphics card or info on integrated video.

Your error is a 0x7E SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
A system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch. There are numerous individual causes for this problem, including hardware incompatibility, a faulty device driver or system service, or some software issues. Check Event Viewer (EventVwr.msc) for additional information.

Your minidump specifically pointed to memory corruption. If indeed you have bad RAM it matters not the OS you are running; you'll crash.

I have experienced what you are experiencing: increased frequency of crashes and errors all over the place due to faulty memory.

So, you need to run MemTest for a minimum of 7 passes. This will take a long time. Any errors and you have memory that has to be replaced. Also, if you have errors run this test on each individual stick to see if one or all need replacement.
