Basically, the way to troubleshoot this is to unplug all non-essential devices, then plug them in one at a time, with a long gap between adding each device, using your computer the whole while. Eventually one will cause the BSoD. Then you know that it is either a corrupt driver or damaged device that is causing the BSOD, and you can consider re-installing that driver.

If all else fails, a clean install of windows will usually fix the problem.

Technically, this error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high. (A kernel-mode process can access only other processes that have an IRQL lower than, or equal to, its own.)
