I have had two such problems. One was due to the DUN driver (dial up n-something) which is what controls my modem connection. Updating my DUN to 1.3 solved that problem. The other was due to my CD-read write driver from Adaptec. This caused lockups (blue screens) on boot and shutdown about 20% of the time. I solved (hopefully) that problem by updating the driver one version. I have been blue screened once on shutdown since then, but it may have been due to some other problem.
