Guys guys guys, I found the archive of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures (it's not an achievement, they've not hidden them) - you can watch every single one since they started televising them in the 60s:
www.rigb.org/christmas-le...
I love watching them every year, now I can see them all!

Windows Update was unlikely to be the cause. You would have set you active hours so that updates wouldn’t be triggered inside your working hours, I trust. If the BSOD happens regularly I suggest getting the machine checked, perhaps a hardware error?
