Is it possible that my GPU and my CPU compatability could be causing my computer to get the blue screen of death?

Im running:

CPU:AMD Athlon 64 2x dual core 4600
GPU: Nvidea GeForce 9600

My computer doesnt overheat but is custom made and gets the blue screen of death seemingly randomly. Is it a compatability issue with the units or could it even involve the motherboard? Please help!

Your computer can rarely detect the cause of a BSOD, if it knew why it happened it would have caught it and recovered gracefully.

Open up your system and take a look at the capacitors on the motherboard, you may have some failing caps that just can't keep up anymore, you are likely very close to being stable but occasionally can't quite make it so teh system hiccups and crashes. The wikipedia article on cap plague has good pictures of bad capacitors
