Bluescreen STOP error: XP and Sony Vegas
) about 30% through. The error message lists no driver or filename - just "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer".

Welcome to HWF... hope you have a nice stay.
Well.... BSOD, what can be said which has not been said already?
Even Microsoft will not give you a definitive answer and the reason is that it is near impossible to say. With people bunging components into cases themselves, the number of software and hardware combinations which can bring about stop messages is at best guessable...
Course of action -
Personally I would start with testing the RAM. If you are using more than one module, take all but one module and test with Memtest for a few hours at least. If the module produces even one error it can be the cause. If it does not then move on to the next module. If all modules test OK, try re-installing drivers, if the problem still persists try and un-install the program which seems to bring about the stop messages. See how the PC behaves then.
For information about the stop messages, simply Google... there is loads of information out there...
