The Event Viewer (Admin tools in the control panel) may or may not have error messages.
Usually if it doesn't log an error message you have a hardware issue. Drivers can
do it also but is a less likely source. Run a test on the HDD if the manufacturer
has a diagnostics utility, many times I have seen an unresponsive HDD cause this.
Make sure there aren't any other heat related issues going on. You can try removing
memory or checking with this:

These problems can be complicated to find unless you have spare parts to swap out
sometimes. Possibly software, but less likely IME..
