Description:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x10000050 (0xbffffff8, 0x00000000, 0x80543e9d, 0x00000002). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini090109-09.dmp.

I also started receiving errors of recovering the registry from corruption upon rebooting.

Solution:

I found that after process of elimination, it was the drivers and a corruption of their entry in the registry. I reinstalled the drivers for my video cards and no I have no problems... cross my fingers.
