The problem can be the result of incompatibility between a driver and DEP which is a microsoft security technology. Have you installed any drivers, hardware or software lately? If you did please uninstall them and see if the computer stabilizes. If you are not able to identify the source of the problem try to disable DEP. Use the procedure below.
