Well, it is very possible that one of your drivers doesn't comply with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard for power management... due to the little info that you give, i cannot directly help you... but you can learn to use the Microsoft Debugging Tools...
read the first post at http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35246 ...
at your next BSOC, reboot and run the bugcheck...
for example ( from laptop with Vista ) :
0: kd> !analyze -v

---------
In these example, the bugcheck analysis points to the NETw5s64.sys, which is a driver for Intel wireless.
Check to be sure your computer and all devices are on the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) and have WHQL signed and certified drivers. You can use Sigverif.exe to check for unsigned drivers.
Check software that uses filter drivers ( for example, anti-virus, remote control, and backup software ).
The best way is to debug yourself... Installing the Microsoft debug tool can seem a little complex but it need to be done one time only... can be very useful because all the driver are not certified, specially the beta version...
