Thanks to everyone here my problems are over.
My conclusions are:
If you can install or reinstall Windows, CPU overheating is unlikely the cause.
If you run memcheck (or such) and get errors, swap out the RAM.
If you get zero errors. still swap out RAM, don't trust the result.
Set all motherboard variables to default and have a stable system before trying over/underclocking
as a cure.
A lot of bluescreens can easily corrupt files, so a clean install of everything will
help.
System at fault is just a cheap word processor with an ASRock all in one, Semperon
2300+ and 512 MB RAM.
It failed as soon as the video drivers were installed, but this was not the cause.
Problem was a stick of 512 RAM that tested fine with memcheck and memdiag but just
didn't like the motherboard.
