Overheat CPU or harddisk problem causes a lot of BSOD i think. Defragged recently or are you low on space?
Also use a tool like Rivatuner to turn CPU fan speeds higher if your CPU have higher than average temp of about 40c idle 60c load.

If it's to do with the CPU overheating... Try replacing the thermal compound on the CPU, It happens to me every now and again, where the thermal compound just gets turned to a pointless dust that floats around in my chassis...

Forgive me for being a novice but how do I check my temperatures? (Vista Home Prem)

It would also help if you gave us the error description that is on the BSOD itself. It should say something like PAGED_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or some other description, all caps with underscores.

I also recommend SpeedFan, found here: http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

Tell us what the temperatures. Also, it'd be helpful if I knew what you were doing at these times. Is it consistently during one activity, or seemingly random? A lot of things can set off a BSoD, even seemingly innocent things.

Also, did you update windows or install new drivers lately?

Well the best thing you can do is post the image of the BSOD screen you're getting. But that's impossible (unless you use a camera XD).

Best is to post more details on the BSOD you're getting and also post what were you doing before you got BSODed.

Retrace your steps - most likely it could be a new driver, new software even (I remember I had problems with Corel Painter X when I wanted to save a file. XD)

If you use System Recovery you can restore your PC to a time when it worked flawlessly.
