check the event log in windows - lots of time something will run amok right before a lock up.
defrag your HDD - if the swap file spans any bad sectors, wacky things can happen.
are you overloading the USB bus (ATM machine... I know...)? I've seen plugging in a bunch of stuff sucks too much power away from other important stuff and causes locks/crashes - and/or it can confuse the hell out of windows.
I've also had too many strange things happen with aparently good, but aparently bad power supplies. If you've got an extra laying around, swap it out and see if that solves it.
Disable all non-essential hardware (unplugging it is even better) to isolate it more if you're confidant that its a hardware issue.
Does the same thing happen in safe mode?
