What exact hardware? Are you overclocking?

Without knowing what the BSOD is telling you it's hard to know exactly what the problem is. It could be anything from a driver to hardware to a memory issue. You can test the RAM to make sure you don't have a faulty module. Windows should create a crash dump file when you get a BSOD. This link - http://mikemstech.blogspot.com/2011/11/windows-crash-dump-analysis.html - may help with crash dump analysis.

The minidump file should be located at C:\Windows\Minidump
Once you find it you could use something like BlueScreenView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html) to see the contents of the dump file.
