Assuming that you have made no recent software (i.e., driver) changes to the system, I would first suspect the hardware. Download a copy of memtest86+ and let it run for a couple of hours. If the system memory passes, then get a hard drive diagnostic program. Usually the manufacturer of the drive has a program which will verify that each sector can be accessed. DFT works with IBM/Hitachi drives, FJDT is for Fujitsu drives, Seatools for Seagate, or you can try PC Doctor for DOS which has a general-purpose disk diagnostic.

Any clues in the BSOD message like missing ati.exe?

If you get that, then it's failing GPU solder joints.
