Sounds to me like it is one particular piece of hardware/driver 
malfunctioning.  Under Linux it either has a different driver or is just not 
used at all (as already mentioned).

I would try booting Windows in safe mode and seeing if that is stable.  If 
so then I would reboot normally and disable all non-critical hardware in 
device manager.  If it is still stable then selectively restart hardware 
until it you find the culprit.  If you are really lucky a driver update 
might fix it...
