sounds power related but that might be bad caps on MB, bad PSU, even where in your home you have it plugged in to the mains voltage. Plug it in somewhere else in the house AWAY from where you have it plugged into. Homes have several power loops, not one loop covering all wall sockets or one fuse per wall socket. If you have cheap powerboards and cheap "dirty" (electrically) devices plugged in to the same loop it could be causing spikes going to your pc (any everythin else on the same loop). If you turn off the fuse that covers the powerpoint your computer is connected to, take note of powerpoints still active and move your computer to one of those and run it there. You probably have a cheap fan heater thats a high power draw and often poorly made on the same loop, or $2 powerstrip. You can test and narrow it down, but first move the computer to an entirely different power loop and run from there. If it doesnt bsod the computer is fine, your home is not. If it continues to bsod then it is in the computer somwhere. its simple process of elimination rather than jumping to false and expensive conclusions.
