BSOD is the most mysterious Windows feature for anyone but Microsoft professional. It usually shows the cause of the problem - but unreadable to non-Microsoft enlightened mind is it.
In my practice BSOD means that there's something terminal in the system - on most occasions it was HDD. It can possibly be software-related, too. But a program that causes it damages the system to the level that it cannot straighten itself up.
In your situation I would run your Astro software in the daytime. If it still crashes the system - watch for a particular program to do it. Normally, it happens right on the start or after calling some of it's functions. If the system is able to withstand anything during the day but crashes at night - then HDD check is in order. Try to do it by instruments included in Windows. You can see the options by right-clicking the drive.
