I have:

ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 Windsor 3.0GHz Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor Model ADX6000CZBOX

What can I do to fix it?

I will check later since I am not at home but I believe its not a virus. I just put the computer together and it started doing it right away. does it once a day maybe 2 times. I believe its hardware problem but cant figure out what is causing it. I already changed the video card once. I have not updated any drivers for anything except the video card and what the windows does automatically. Could it from some driver?

yep i have the same problem, the computer randomly goes to the blue screen. i worked out in the end that one of my RAM sticks were faulty, so if you have 2 sticks, try it with one and if it still does it then try the other..

It is possible that one of the ram sticks is faulty (though unlikely). I would insert one stick at a time, and see if that has any effect. Otherwise, it's most likely a motherboard issue. Since it's a fresh install, it's doubtful that it is software related.
