could be anything, you didn't tell us the stop code... :)

maybe look at what was the last driver you loaded,
unsigned drivers may cause problems with a system.

I tend to get them with video drivers,
sometime updating the driver fixes it.

Or the windows update installed was not actually for the hardware that you have - I've seen that one with video cards...
 
just unplug EVERYTHING except monitor, power and a PS2 muse and keyboard, and boot in safe mode, uninstall all device driver updates that were installed upto a week before it crashed and viola! :D (hopefully!)
