Not cool. Which version of Windows do you have, and is it 32-bit or 64-bit? How much RAM do you have? Do you know how many "sticks" there are of it? Was there a Windows Update installed just before the CTDs started? Had you installed any new apps, etc.?
The thing to get is the Stop Code, like "Stop Code: 4 - blah blah blah, Windows has encountered a problem at memory location whatever, etc." (and however it's worded). It will have all sorts of fancy stuff and at least four addresses usually where there was a problem. It does not always "point" at the guilty party. It just points at the location where the computer was when it "Stopped"... I've had issues before where Windows will all of a sudden decide to install a video card driver (oh so helpful) from three years ago that I'd skipped because it had issues... It's easy enough to back out of the install, but those things happen.
