It was troubling me for quite some time before I figured it out, so this may be worth a fortune to you, if it’s the same thing with your PC. For a while I suspected that something was wrong either with the driver or configuration of my network interface card (Ethernet adapter for Local Area Connection). However, when I happened to plug another computer into my router, I had that other machine bluescreen on me the same way. I was totally baffled, of course: how does a router - or anything on the other end of the Ethernet cord, for that matter, cause a computer to bluescreen and reboot like that. Apparently some kind of intermittent incompatibility between the router and Ethernet card. Oooh, Windows!.. So just try another router and see what happens.
